I've often wondered if it made sense to keep /var on a separate partition.
I did it for a time, but then gave up as I couldn't remember
why I was doing it.
I see from the official (if obsolete) Linux Filesystem Hierarchy document
that the idea is to keep /usr read-only,
but I've a feeling quite a few things are written to /usr nowadays.
Also must be a bit of a bore updating the system?

I see that web-servers keep a lot of fairly constant stuff in /var/www .

Just a thought ...
