And for clarity's sake, I'm not suggesting a literal partition /os and /data, simply that there are areas of the filesystem used to store operating system stuff (EG: /bin, /boot, /usr), and areas used to store data (EG: /home, /var, /tmp), etc.
The division is not at all clean, especially under /var. You've got stuff put there by a base OS install mingled with an unpredictable amount of logs and data.
