In a production environment I'd recommend to keep each partition on its
own drive.  I've had plenty of drives experience mechanical failures (the
worst offenders have been Western Digital IDE drives and *huge* Micropolis
SCSI drives) -- rendering *all* partitions unreadable (or worse, randomly
unreadable) on the failed drive.

Just my two yen,
