Question : More musings on new HD--/var/named partition!?

I just got a new 160GB HD and I am planning to run freeBSD exclusively. I am also planning to do
DNS/BIND and I was reading about the security feature of using chroot and having BIND run
on /var/named.  THerefore, I am wondering how to partition my new HD.

FIrst of all, doesn't /var have logging info?  THerefore, I might want a bigger /var partition,right?
Also, maybe I should make an additional partition for the /var/named directory.  If so, how  big
should that be?

Answer : More musings on new HD--/var/named partition!?

The following values are already quite generous and should suffice for any situation (you should create them in this order for the optimal speed):

/ 250MB
swap 250MB
/var 10GB
/usr 15GB
/home the rest

You'll use /home the most for mp3's, movies, etc anyway...
