My personal feeling is that there shouldn't be a default for this,
certainly putting the SE data area in the root partition is a bad
move.

That may be the way to go, but it depends how you envisage the SE being
used. We have no VO space quotas, so with only one partition one VO (one
user!) can hog all the space. If you make different partitions for each VO
you get away from that, but then one VO may run out of space even when
there is plenty overall. One way would be to have fairly big independent
partitions (whole disks even) for VOs you intend to give your main
support, and a smaller shared area for everyone else.

PS Whatever you do, don't make sub-partitions below the VO directory.
