that model is not generally recommended anymore, at least not putting /usr on its own partition, there's just too many issues with that nowdays. I don't like putting /var in its own partition either as its all too intertwined with root. the problem with lots of little partitions is your freespace gets fragmented.

/home in a dedicated partition, sure. /var/lib/${DATABASE_OR_WEB_SERVER}, ditto...
