That's what I usually do if I don't need to boot from the drive or more than one filesystem living on it. I wouldn't see the point in adding that extra layer of abstraction. It won't even cause you problems in the future unless you want to access the data from OSs that assume a partition table on everything (eg windos). cheers, &rw -- / Ing.
