Basically, don't break them up. Unix file systems used to be fragile
enough that separating them limited the damage. These days, that's not
true, so all you're doing in creating extra file systems is creating
more things that can cause problems by running out of space. Leaving
them together lets them share the extra space, making it less likely
that you'll run out of space. The reasons for splitting a file system
these days are administrative - meaning you have different backup or
upgrade paths, different mounting options, or similar things.
