One partition is easiest.  You can delete files from /bigdrive/samba which
would make more space in /bigdrive/mythstore

If you want to be excessively geeky, you could use LVM, but its really
overkill.

Another option is to do a raid1 of your important data, and leave myth a
single plain drive to record to.  I don't see TV recordings as being
critical data.
