Frank,
I would increase the size of your swap. Although I don't know your
specific situation, in general I would recommend at least 256 or 384 MB swap
w/ such
a big hard drive (it never hurts to have extra swap)
In certain instances you can think of partitions as compartments
of a ship. If one compartment fills up, the partition keeps the overflow
from affecting more critical areas.
I would suggest also creating a partition for /var and one for /tmp
to "water tighten" your host.
If their are any other directory nodes that have a probability to
fill up, move them off the root partition as well.
Good luck.
