I use a very similar approach to Jay, with /home, /var and /srv in a separate VG. I separate /etc into a separate VG (because that's where all the stuff that makes a server unique exists), but put a minimal /etc on the / partition to allow the system to come up to the point where I can overmount the other stuff. A system looks something like this: / = non-LVM partition, separate minidisk, about 5-10M, basic /sbin, /bin, /etc Production /opt, /usr, /lib, and /bin = system_vg Production /home, /var, /srv = data_vg Production /tmp = temp_vg Production /etc = config_vg > Split this way - the / should not really grow by more than 10%, if at > all, > due to applying security fixes.
