Hi,
I had some similar issues when I started..
I initially couldn't get my head around mount points and putting them in fstab.
I got some really good help and guidance from "gold_finger"
He's also got this:

It's about a separate data partition, but it applies to doing more.
Go through the above, it also covers "binding" so you can have the partitions folders
linked directly to folders in your /home directory.
I have 4 partitions on my 2nd drive:
/home (keep my home separate ease of backup/recovery)
/data (keep my data separate ease of backup/recovery)
/vbox (keep Virtualbox VMS separate, easy to omit from backups)
/vault (keep a local backup of key things, just in case)
