This would be a "reasonable" configuration for a web server with huge logs
(and/or a mail server with same) where the web directories are kept under
/usr.
However, for more general use, this is a very weird and probably not
useful configuration.
A more reasonable one is more like my most general-purpose machine:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda1 150497 22053 120414 15% /
/dev/hda6 120391 15 113952 0% /tmp
/dev/hda7 90285 24600 60868 29% /var
/dev/hda8 497667 324195 147770 69% /opt
/dev/hda11 1095993 529577 509789 51% /usr
/dev/hda9 202182 15006 176736 8% /home
/dev/hda10 699752 650616 12992 98% /image
/dev/hda12 567548 13 538218 0% /audio
This is specific for burning CD images (currently it holds an MkLinux
image). If it were a more generally used machine, I'd probably make what
is /audio /usr/local instead (and I would have made /var larger for mail
spool, but mail is handled by another machine).

If "Microsoft" is the question, "No, thank you" is the answer.
