Maybe split it in 2 disks? One OS and one APP/DATA? You can then

I prefer to do this anyway as I then can just redeploy the OS and attach

Also, different apps store configuration and data in different places,
so saying "just put it on a second disk" can be hard.
Sure, it works fine for /home -- but mysql? imapd? ...
