No separate volumes needed! Of course, you can't do performance measurements on VMs or things like that, but then you have Linux VM already...

Sometimes I think this sort of thing's all down to blind luck.

IIRC you can resize MBR but not GUID. I really wish Apple included full resizing support in Leopard. IIRC you can resize MBR but not GUID.
