How do you sanely handle this? Why so many partitions? It seems to me, this is precisely the situation where you'd want LVM. With it, you could create whatever partitions you want in the LVM and adjust them as needed. Also, if you have mulitple drives, you can have a RAID array and place the LVM on top of it. That way, you don't have to worry about drives failing, as you simply replace
