You dont need a /home partition - drop that and stick with a 1 Gig /
if and when you need it, its easy to later drop in another hard disk and 
use that for the purpose.

Cyrus will not store any user data in /home - everything, including mail 
filters, vacation messages etc are stored within the imap/ directories
