Most importantly, I have a separate partition for /src, where I do all
big compilations...
(My /home is also separate, as it's NFS-mounted from another box.)
I must be excessively lucky, as I haven't had fatal FS corruption on
either the "/" or the "/src" partitions since I set this system up in
2004 or so.

I do now and then, and I actually needed them once or twice IIRC... Not
because of FS corruption, but because of broken system state after
unlucky upgrades.

Let me remind you that you can do just the same with real partitions on
real hardware... :-) Only difference is that you have to boot a
different system instance explicitly for this, while with a VM you
always have to host system running.
