LVM allows for disk spanning, yes. Besides, my primary drive is 500 gigs...here's the disk util for all the partitions on that drive:
- Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/flux-root 5.0G 867M 3.9G 19% /
/dev/sda1 177M 73M 95M 44% /boot
/dev/mapper/flux-home 25G 1.4G 23G 6% /home
/dev/mapper/flux-srv 394G 67G 307G 18% /srv
/dev/mapper/flux-tmp 5.0G 139M 4.6G 3% /tmp
/dev/mapper/flux-usr 9.9G 4.4G 5.0G 47% /usr
/dev/mapper/flux-var 5.0G 1.6G 3.2G 33% /var
As you can see, I have tons of free space (60% of the drive is unused on /srv alone, lol). The only issue really is that /var tends to fill up to levels I don't like (over 60%), which might not sound like an issue, but could easily become one. Between /var/cache/apt/archives (the local storage of all Debian packages that I install/update) and /var/log (which we all know could dump tons of log data if there's an issue), that 40% could easily fill up. So, I think /var warrants a bit more space (maybe 10-15 gig). My main data drive is separate, of course, as well as my backup drives.
