ESX4.0 Disk partitioning

Can anyone help with a disk partitioning query when using a scripted installation?

I've looked at and also various posts regarding the partition.

We have a mirror of 72GB disk, and were proposing the following layout. Can anyone advise of any useful changes that can/should be made?

part '/boot' --fstype=ext3 --size=1100 --onfirstdisk

part 'Storage1' --fstype=vmfs3 --size=56320 --grow --onfirstdisk

part 'none' --fstype=vmkcore --size=110 --onfirstdisk

virtualdisk 'esxconsole' --size=46080 --onvmfs=Storage1

part / --fstype=ext3 --size=5120 --grow --onvirtualdisk='esxconsole'

part 'swap' --fstype=swap --size=1600 --onvirtualdisk='esxconsole'

part '/var' --fstype=ext3 --size=16384 --onvirtualdisk='esxconsole'

part '/tmp' --fstype=ext3 --size=2048 --onvirtualdisk='esxconsole'

part '/home' --fstype=ext3 --size=8192 --onvirtualdisk='esxconsole'

part '/opt' --fstype=ext3 --size=4096 --onvirtualdisk='esxconsole'
