Here's an example from one of my boxes:

/home/local /usr/local auto bind 0 0

I use LVM over RADI1 on most of my machines these days. I use separate 
filesystems for /, /usr, /tmp, /home, /var, swap, and /srv, only make 
them as big as I expect them to be in the medium term (i.e. leaving 
unallocated space in the volume group) and then extend their sizes as 
and when it's necessary.
