I've never found that to be of much practical value. YMMV. Anyway, if 
you have reasons to partition, go for it--but partitioning because a 
filesystem is arbitrarily "too big" isn't a reason. (Especially since, 
in context, it's a logical volume so presumably the OP has already 
decided how to allocate space and if they wanted a separate home they 
could have just made a lv for it.)
