Use 'du -shc <dir>' to find how much space each directory uses. Then think how to split them across your three disks. Some tips that could be true or false depending on your particular setup: 1. Place /usr/local and /home on a separate filesystem (helps when upgrading). 2. Use several smaller swap partitions, 1 in each drive. This increases swap space performance by spreading the swapped out data among the disks. 3. If you have programs installed in /opt, move /opt to /usr/local and soft link it from /.
