My $0.02... For the past few months, I've been going crazy with vinum. I have 4 x 9GB storage on my workstation, and I use vinum for everything but /, /var, and /usr. I have about a dozen small (< 650Mb) filesystems, and I often create scratch filesystems for special purposes (such as rolling a release). I like having a lot of small filesystems... I can tune or export them individually, and they are easy to dump incrementally or reorganize. I also make sure that any one of them could fit on a single CD-ROM in case I decide to make an archive of some of them.
