Paul,
I forgot to mention with the 'unconventional' slicing of the Partitions, it does become unpopular in terms of 'vendor' support (if it applies.. ) and also expentencies on Code installs, etc. where environments are set based on 'known knowns' with Linux/UNIX layouts .. and the likes..
Major chances of failures, etc. So, if insistant on slicing up /DISKS/ and such ( I still believe in it but look at install scripts before I do and 'tweak' accordingly -- and willing to maintain that, it's a safe bet.. Most just click on ***.sh and blast away... Problems later..
It's funny how little folks actually prepare for an install/setup before going to Prod or the infamous 'golive' - but that's how I make money to come in an fix it.. SO PLEASE don't read the manual ~ and use logic here. lol.

My (sometimes unpopular) advice is to set up the partitions on servers into two categories:
- OS
- Data
Absolutely. I have been doing this, without problems, for 5 years. Keeping the two distinct is best, in my opinion.
