Frank, I think that sounds fine. I agree with you on not trying to use reiserfs on your / and boot partitions if for no other reason than that it's a pain to set up. Since your data and / system are actually on the same disk make sure you kill syslogd before you do any recording or it will be writing to /var/log at very inopportune moments. Just killing syslogd got rid of a good number of xruns for me. Sym linking /tmp sounds like a good idea too.
