Alan,
I've always liked keeping everything under /. Many colleagues didn't like
this and we went to the more complex solution, such as what you're doing,
in the Virtualization Cookbooks.
The argument for many file systems and LVM is that this will keep the root
file system from filling up. But now I like the approach "You're not
allowed to fill up the file system". If you have 3, 5, 7 or more GB free,
you have a fair amount of headroom. If you have more data than that, then
yes, get it out of the root and put it in a dedicated file system.
The root fs's are usually ECKD and the latter fs's usually FCP/SCSI.
Hope this helps.
