I concur. I'll definitely put /home on a seperate volume if there's
going to be a need for a large /home (some of my servers have hardly any
/home as there are no interactive users to speak of, others use nfs
mounted /home dirs for interactive logins). /var I'm kind of on the
fence on. things like postgres, which like to put the databases in
/var/lib/pgsql/x.y/data, I've been recently mounting my dedicated raid10
database volumes as such, so /var itself has very little. but we all
know spools, logs can grow unexpectedly large, so constraining /var to a
dedicated LV is probably a good idea.
