partitions

I've seen numerous threads here on what would've happened if Napoleon decided to cut Austria into little pieces bit by bit. Would that have been a wise move? Would a partition result in a Peninsular War style guerilla warfare and resistance by the general population

What would it take for the allied powers in the Coalition against Revolutionary France to partition or at least weaken France in the same manner that Germany was after WW2 to prevent it from threatening the balance of power in Europe? What would be the Geopolitical implications of such an event...

How can Poland survive partitions? They don't need to be very big, but just surviving somewhere while still calling themselves Poland. I was thinking maybe a bigger Free City of Krakow being an Austrian puppet state, but I'm not sure if Prussia/Russia would allow it and if Austria would allow it...
