there is a mount option to deny the ability to use device nodes on a filesystem, but it's seldom used nowdays (the benifit from splitting up the filesystem into many slices is outweighed by the inconvienience of dealing with the many slices)

A privilege escalation flaw in udev

I'd say LVM fixed that inconvenience long ago, and the benefits of multiple filesystems are still there. I can't really understand why anyone would go with a single large root filesystem.

It can be tricky to get LVM aligned properly for LVM-atop-RAID, and if you
get it wrong you get a silent substantial slowdown...

(RAID-atop-LVM is not prone to this because you don't get the same excess
RMW cycles.)
