I thing you should use LVM to be very flexible on partitioning and
growing.

mount /home to a LV-Volume
mount /srv/samba/apps to a LV-Volume (for Programms)
mount /srv/samba/groups to a LV-Volume (for Special Groups)
mount /srv/samba/profiles to a LV Volume (for Profiles)

Let 5-15% (or more, when you at the time doesnt now how fast 
every "Mointpoint" will grow or need space) free Space on the Volume Group 
for unexpected Situations.

Hope to give some hints
Thomas
