Absolutely.  UNIX / POSIX partitions are not limited like Windows
filesystems, where you have to create a new "drive" and apply a drive
letter and they give you a separate "root" for each partition.

On POSIX, partitions can be mounted anywhere, and they can easily be
unmounted and mounted somewhere else instead.

So any directory, at any level, of the directory structure can be a
totally different partition on the disk.  A partition containing your
home directory can be mounted on top of the /home directory in your
root partition, or it could be mounted as /my/personal/home/partition,
or whatever.
