The SWSoft user guide has some minimum recommendations.
Better yet read the Virtuozzo install guide. It's similar but more up to date.
Basically you want.
/boot
100-200MB ext3
/
Anywhere from 8-16GB on ext3 or ext 3 on top of LVM partition
swap
twice the amount of ram on swap or swap on top of LVM partition
/vz
remainder of HD space on ext3 or ext3 on top of LVM partition.
Using LVM partition is optional but recommended. With LVM you can create templates/backups of containers without the container having to go offline (a huge benefit IMHO). Also LVM allows you to dynamically adjust the size of the partitions later on without losing your data.
I use LVM with Software RAID 1 partitioned as explained above according to the Virtuozzo guide on all my nodes. Here is a sample of how it would look in Disk Druid. Go back a couple pages to see the steps involved. Just substitute the sizing and partition names above.
If you don't use LVM then there is no need to have the separate /boot partition although it certainly can't hurt.
