Just a recommendation (outside of backup really) but you should make your 137G LVM controlled so you have to power to control where it goes. I would make / like 5 GB or whatever you like, but use the rest of the space for various filesystems like /home /database /usr/local and make them LVM controlled--- I love being able to make my 50GB space useful by extending the filesystem only as I need it, and you don't end up with all your eggs in one basket... man that would suck if you had filesystem issues on /
