7TB seems like too much for one partition imho.
Consider splitting it into the parts
That's silly. It's 2021; 7TB isn't particularly large and there's no
value in breaking things into multiple partitions for no reason.
Maybe to have the ability to restore or reinstall the system without
bothering /home?
I've never found that to be of much practical value. YMMV. Anyway, if
you have reasons to partition, go for it--but partitioning because a
filesystem is arbitrarily "too big" isn't a reason. (Especially since,
in context, it's a logical volume so presumably the OP has already
decided how to allocate space and if they wanted a separate home they
could have just made a lv for it.)
