BackupPC pools data with hardlinks so you have to put its entire archive in one filesystem. However, unless you know for certain that you'll need the entire space for backuppc I'd recommend breaking the space up into sizes that your RAM will handle for an XFS fsck. As much as I like backuppc, there are some things it doesn't handle well (VM images, huge databases or single-file mailboxes with daily changes, etc.) and you might use the other portions for ad-hoc copies of things like that.
Do we have other options than BackupPC on CentOS that might work better?
