that model is not generally recommended anymore, at least not putting
/usr on its own partition, there's just too many issues with that
nowdays. I don't like putting /var in its own partition either as its
all too intertwined with root. the problem with lots of little
partitions is your freespace gets fragmented.
/home in a dedicated partition, sure.
/var/lib/${DATABASE_OR_WEB_SERVER}, ditto...
