If you absolutely *HAVE* to split a file system over partitions think
about using LVM2/EVMS etc, this way when you use too much/too little on
one partition or the other you can play swappy changey.

Are there any really good reasons for actually splitting physical drives
up these days other then grub and lilo etc don't seem to like being on a
non-physical partition or at best raid1?

I think grub2 can handle lvm+raid, but I had trouble getting grub2 to
install boot information reliably across multiple drives in software
raid5+lvm configuration.
