I went through this exercise a while ago and got a lot of suggestions
from which I developed a scheme. It proved to be somewhat too generous
and if I had to do it again I would set things closer to the used col.
I am not going to give any advice but will because I am sending you my
df. Alter it to your needs:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6
2.9G 123M 2.7G 5% /
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part12
18G 4.7G 12G 28% /backup
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part9
20G 5.9G 13G 33% /usr
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part11
9.5G 207M 8.8G 3% /var
I have installed everything that looked interesting so in my case
reseting the part's to used would be sufficient.
