No. You need to put some kind of /dev/sdxx or /dev/hdxx in there.
Run "df" to see what is mounted where.

If by "reconfigure these directories" you mean moving directory
contents to other partitions or logical volumes and then mounting them
to those directories, the answer is yes.
Exception: If you have some backup script that does something like
cd /
find . -mount -depth | cpio -oBc ....
it will not back up filesystems mounted anywhere on the root (/)
tree. For instance, if /home and /var are on separate filesystems,
you'd need to
find . home var -mount -depth | cpio -oBc ....
Or you could do without the "-mount" option.
