As others have pointed out, when a disk fails, just what data goes down the drain first is pretty random and spreading data across several partitions doesn't really do anything to improve your chances of recovery after a crash. With any kind of reasonable Internet access, rsync to another machine is extremely easy to set up and maintain, and once the initial duplication of all data is done the periodic (say once or twice a day) transfer is almost not noticeable until you need to restore the data and it's all there, up to the time of the last rsync. - P -- Peter N.
