I would reccomend you to read the Large Disk HowTo available from:
http://howto.tucows.com/LDP/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO.html
and the Linux Partition HowTo available from:
http://howto.tucows.com/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Partition.html
These documents together should cover most of what is needed to make a custom
partitioning strategy that will cover your needs.
