You where asking about the disk setup, here is our for SLES11 SP2.
I tried to setup according to a redbook, to be prepared for shared readonly 
disks.
Not a good idea.
Instead he current solution looks like this (not at all like the first try):

disk0 / 351 MB
disk1 /boot 35 MB
disk2 swap vdisk 64 MB
disk3 swap vdisk 64 MB
disk4 swap 386 MB
disk5 LVM   7 GB ( /home /opt /root /srv /usr /var )
disk6 /tmp 1 GB
disk7 LVM  2GB /own_std_software

plus some linked disks with WAS on.

If you add /etc as a logical volume into the disk5 LVM I guess this is a good
start for sharing as readonly / and /boot

I agree - and I'm curious about what people are doing with "standard"
file system layouts for zLinux - are most people doing something similar
to this:

Disk 1: all the system stuff, on 390 disk:
                /
                /bin
                /boot
                /etc
                /lib
                /lib64
                /opt
                /root
                /sbin
                /sys

Disk 2: standard "data" kind of stuff, also on 390 disk:
                /var
                /usr
                /home
                /tmp

Disk 3: /swap (also on 390 disk)

Disk 4: /data  (all the really big stuff goes here, on FCP)
