Eight years ago, I wrote an article for SysAdmin, suggesting a
straight partition for /boot and root, and lvm for /home and /var,

or not for swap, and another raid partition for everything else:
home, other data directories....
That's pretty much in line with our practice for standalone machines:
* /boot -- RAID 1
* / -- RAID 1
* /srv -- RAID 1 or 5, and it may not even be broken out
* /home -- NAS (RAID 10, if it matters)
For VMs, there's just swap and /.
At work, we're going to not more than 500G for /, but I'm thinking a
lot less: I just rebuilt my own system at home, and gave / 150G, I
think, and I have /var there (though I'd put web stuff elsewhere
than on /).
A RAID 1 of (relatively) inexpensive 80GB or 120GB SSDs are my default
for swap and the root filesystem. Larger /srv filesystems, and the NAS
holding /home, still require spinning platters on our budget.
