I can't find any related question and answer that will satisfy me on my quest. All I see that people telling to create a ext partition with mount point '/' and a swap space. But I want to create multiple(3) ext partitions. I just want to keep them separately so that I can access them individually.

I used ext4 as partitioning format and provide mount point '/' to one partition and left other partitions mount point without selecting anything. During next step it provide a warning message for those partitions.

After installation now I can see them individually. Still I don't put any data on those partitions. I am just thinking is it a bad idea not to provide any mount point? And for multiple ext4 partitions is it OK? Is there any performance problem may occur on this matter?

No reason to give them permanent mount points unless you want to.

When you feel like using one of them, you can just mount it /mnt or anywhere else you wish:

From the command line:

mount /dev/sda4 /mnt

(assuming /dev/sda4 was the partition you wanted to mount). Or you could mount them someplace else like /home/yourusername/somedirectoryyoumade
