@Dj,
Oh! Discard my previous mail. [assumed that you wanted to use the /
completely for data]

I don't really think it can increase the performance. I think its better to
classify and partition the volumes appropriately by considering on what all
partition there will be frequent writes and on what all partitions only
frequent read is done.

Eg: Movies,tutorial and stuffs like that can be stored in a volume as it
has frequent read but occasional writes.
and codes, document preparation, personal auditing on various stuffs,
mails, can be partitioned in a separate volume as it has frequent writes
and read.

To get enough performance you can tweak the file system mount flags like
"noatime" on frequent read only volumes and many others are there. Also you
can use "resiserfs" on /var filesystem as it faster and efficient that ext*
filesystems on small files. There are many minor over-killing stuffs like
that. ;)

If performance is not that important, you can neglect the above said
suggestions.

If you are using that system as a standalone and a primary backup machine.
This will do good provided you are not using any rolling release distros.

If you get screwed then you can keep the two halves. ;)

Again, when exactly does this happen? What were you doing when the device
disappeared?

While 'service network restart' should still work, here's the new (systemd)
way to do it:
systemctl restart network.service

You might also be interested in other actions apart from 'restart':
systemctl  network.service
