This is a terrible idea. It's near impossible to predict how your
usage will evolve so almost certainly one or more of these will fill
while others remain near empty.

If you want to do this, use LVM and pick minimal capacities for all
the above, leaving the majority unallocated. You can then grow
logical volumes as needed and the problem goes away.

Cheers,
Andy
