So true.

>What would you recommend for partition set-up?

Unless you have a reason to do it otherwise, my setup would be:

BootManager
C: 1GB primary HPFS for eCS
D: 1GB logical HPFS for BooteCS maintanance
E: ??GB logical JFS for applications
F: ??GB logical JFS for data

The rest would be large JFS partitions sized however you find convenient.
How big depends a lot on your backup strategy.

Based on your query, I'm assuming this will be an eCS only box.
