Since I only have two 36 GB drives, I don't leave any space unassigned. My current box is an HP NetServer LPr, which has two hot-swap bays. The scsi drives are connected to an HP NetRaid card which is set up to present two logical drives to the OS: one is raid1 (for the system), and the other is raid0 (for /home and anything else that is routinely backed-up and wouldn't cause a system crash if it died). If I need more space, I'll get an external scsi enclosure and move the hot-swap drives to it (the NetRaid card only has one channel) and add more drives. Right now on this box I'm not acutally using LVM since I can do most of what it can do with the NetRaid card. I used LVM on my SATA-equipped Athlon box that didn't have a raid card.
