Help with initial setup of filesystems

HI All,
I am in the middle of moving from FreeNAS to OMV.
I have installed everything (?).
I have looked for solutions on the forum but I am no closer to an answer. I would like some idea of best practices in configuring my filesystems.

I have created a Raid6 array on the data drives (9.1TB)
I think I want to do the following:
I want to create a volume(filesystem?) for various Time Machine backups - around 800GB
I want to then create separate filesystems for Photos, Music, Videos, Users etc.

When I go to create a filesystem, it does not have a size limit, so will it use up the whole array?

Any advice on how to set this up correctly the first time would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gwarph

Thanks for the fast response!

Separate filesystems on the same disk just seems like a recipe for disaster. Frankly, I can't think of any scenario where it would be even remotely necessary.

I know nothing (well more than I did this am) about Linux, but in the AIX world, we create multiple fs on VGs all the time. My thought was to have save separate fs so that I can unmount say 'PHOTOS' if I was experimenting with Adobe and have no fear that my data was in danger.

However, I'm restoring my data and testing the multiple TM backups right now, so all is good.

Thanks,
Gwarph
