Don't understand the purpose of partitioning to /usr, /home, /var etc... It makes a lot of trouble when you need to recover data from damaged disks or smth. It also makes trouble when you need to enlarge one of them. For example in my oppinion for mail server with 8 HDD it's better to use 2xHDD (hw RAID-1) and make just / and swap, and with other 6 HDD make hw RAID-5 and mount it somewhere to /data for example. It depends on what you will run on server (mail server, web, db etc...), but I never make more than "swap" and "/".
