This is what I do on my servers.  For instance my web servers have
/boot   first drive
/       first drive
/web    second drive

except for a few configuration files, all my data is on one drive (or 
raided drives).  I can update or replace with a reinstall all the OS 
stuff without altering the data.

If it was a DB server I might have
/mysql
or
/rdbms
/db01
/db02
/db03
/db04
or
/ftp
or
etc.

There are some very good reasons for having mutliple partitions. 
Although every time I try to do that, I get a partition that is too 
small and another that is too big. :(

and if it's a server, use scsi
