Learn LVM! It's madness not to. All you need to learn are a few more words and two or three simple command line utilities. It's an half hour really well spent. It works just like partitions, but you can resize them at will, and refer to them by name instead of number (which gets really handy when these partitions, called volumes, span multiple disks).
