For comparison, here's another mixed-use, multiuser machine that serves
webpages, handles mail, and provides networked storage to a half-dozen
active users.

Filesystem  512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a      1014940   136144   828050    14%    /
/dev/wd0d     10152858  1443336  8201880    15%    /home
/dev/wd0e     10152858  1821486  7823730    19%    /var
/dev/wd0f     16412350  3356086 12235648    22%    /usr
/dev/wd1a      2030474       14  1928938     0%    /tmp
/dev/wd1b       197934   137566    50472    73%    /var/log
/dev/wd1d     17141134 10032458  6251620    62%    /home/public

Two quirks of note: /var/log is on a differnt spindle from /var to help
keep the logging from interfering with normal operations. /home/public
is a big samba share common to all users.
