Well, if you're running VM, you can get much better granularity than 3339 cylinders. 3339 times as good in fact. Anyway, what you describe is one approach. Another would be to allocate multiple disks, set them up via LVM, transfer all the data onto the LVM large volume, and then set up Linux to use the LVM device as / (you might have to have a non-LVMed device in /boot (or wherever you IPL from) to get the initial IPL to work...folks?).
