Just how 'fine' do you want to do this? I can see separating outboot,usr,var (and various sub-dirs ofvar, likevar-spool (and subdirs undervar-spool) ,var-messages,var-lib andvar-www), as well ashome, and other non-system file systems, but separating outbin,sbin,etc-, andlib, seems a bit excessive. BTW, I myself did something similar with WBL 3.0: I have a server with two RAID controllers, one with a mirror set for the system disk and one with a RAID 5 with non-system file systems. The mirror set has 'static' parbreastions for,usr, swap, andvar. The RAID 5 is a LVM volume, with logical volumes forvar-spool-mail,var-lib-pgsql,var-www, andhome. I had no trouble doing this with WBL. What *I* did was use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get the spare shell and manually loaded the LVM module and did all of the parbreastioning at that level, creating the LVs and using fdisk on the system disk to create the parbreastions. I then went back to shell 1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and use the Disk Druid thingy to map parbreastions logical volumes with mount points (file systems).
