If you don't want data shared across PVs (~ partitions), then just put the PVs in different volume groups. YaST has easy facilities for this. Again see the LVM howto for more explanations. But then you have to allocate each filesystem to an LV in one or other of the VGs, so you lose some of the flexibility.
