I am a big believer in not adding more partitions than necessary.. It just becomes a 
big headache.. I have two 40 gig drives here that are one big partitions, (except for 
extra swap partition) and I just mount to directories as I need.. This way, if my mp3s 
become a problem, I can move them and clear space on my other directories.. My movies 
seem to move a lot as those things take up a drive in no time.
