There is another way too, make the disk a raw PV (no partition table) and use

LVM can handle PVs up to 2^64 in size.
Then when creating LVs you only have to worry about what the max file system

Say one that uses the kernel/command line part of a long term distro and the
gui and gui apps of a cutting edge distro (maybe 1 back from the cutting edge).
An kernel upgrade cycle of say 3 years, but a GUI that stays
