Does the use of partitions prevent hackers from getting access to the entire Unix server?

No. I don't see how that would make a difference.

I concur, if they are able to get in, they would be able to see/access the other partitions. But if you are selling web hosting, etc, yes you would want to secure the /tmp partition
