1) How you divide a file system has more to do with how the box is to be
used.

2) Where is the most growth in data or programs going to happen. 

3) Do/will you have 5, 10, 100 users with separate files or will they
share a data base?

4) Is this a;
  mail server? 
  web server?  
  file Server?
  personal system?
