I like this.  I also hope it becomes the default in SLES11.

Laid out properly, / will never grow.

# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/dasda1           388M  168M  200M  46% /
/dev/mapper/vg01-home  97M  4.4M   88M   5% /home
/dev/mapper/vg01-opt   74M   21M   50M  30% /opt
/dev/mapper/vg01-srv  1.2G  1.1G  100M  92% /srv
/dev/mapper/vg01-tmp  291M   34M  242M  13% /tmp
/dev/mapper/vg01-usr  2.0G  901M  1.1G  45% /usr
/dev/mapper/vg01-var  2.0G  608M  1.3G  32% /var

Of course the amount of space dedicated to each LV will vary according to 
specific needs.  The fundamental concept is the same, and will (hopefully) be 
the default on SLES11 if things go as I hope.
