If you make /var and /tmp partitions, they cannot overflow into anything, they can just fill up.
This is really some good news.

What the website you're quoting from is basically saying is: use one big /usr partition, and put everything in it as directories to avoid wasted space in dedicated partitions.
This was about the only one out of many threads I read that made this kind of clear but it made no since to me why one would want to do this. I always thought the best thing about FreeBSD was that everything has it own partition. Thanks for finalizing this.

This was my first time trying after wondering about it for a long time. I did not like it so I just dd my PRIMARY-1 and will now re-install with peace of mind. Now I'll never have to look back. This been bugging me for a long time ..... Thank again
