If you plan to use the server for a long time, and if you think that the 
freespace would be decreasing fast, I'd suggest that you use LVM. With LVM we 
can increase partition size by adding additional harddisk.

Partition scheme is more than an art and experience than exact science. But, 
as a rule, it's best if we separate the partition where we would keep it's 
content intact when we do upgrade.
