Partitioning recommendation

I have an old Pentium box pieced together from parts, and the 2G hard drive in it is showing signs of a coming death. I have purchased an 8G HD to replace the old one, and I plan to install NetBSD 1.6.1.

The machine is to be used as a home server, with
  • Mail handled as fetchmail -> sendmail -> cyrus (currently its only function) and sendmail -> ISP
  • print server (small load --- just a silly inkjet for home use)
  • File repository via NFS and Samba.
I also want to be able to do kernel/OS compiles so I can keep up with security patches, etc. I'll be the only user logging in --- and that only for admin duties --- while my wife and kids will be using only the network services provided by this machine.

On the current 2G drive, I have 1G for /var (which seems to be where cyrus is depositing mail) .25G for /, .5G for /usr, .25G for /home (currently not being mounted because several sectors there are bad and prevent booting if it's mounted --- the first sign of trouble with the drive). My question is this: What partitioning do you recommend for the 8G HD?

TAP::Parser::Result::Plan(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      TAP::Parser::Result::Plan(3)

NAME
TAP::Parser::Result::Plan - Plan result token. VERSION
Version 3.28 DESCRIPTION
This is a subclass of TAP::Parser::Result. A token of this class will be returned if a plan line is encountered. 1..1 ok 1 - woo hooo! 1..1 is the plan. Gotta have a plan. OVERRIDDEN METHODS
Mainly listed here to shut up the pitiful screams of the pod coverage tests. They keep me awake at night. o "as_string" o "raw" Instance Methods "plan" if ( $result->is_plan ) { print $result->plan; } This is merely a synonym for "as_string". "tests_planned" my $planned = $result->tests_planned; Returns the number of tests planned. For example, a plan of 1..17 will cause this method to return '17'. "directive" my $directive = $plan->directive; If a SKIP directive is included with the plan, this method will return it. 1..0 # SKIP: why bother? "has_skip" if ( $result->has_skip ) { ... } Returns a boolean value indicating whether or not this test has a SKIP directive. "explanation" my $explanation = $plan->explanation; If a SKIP directive was included with the plan, this method will return the explanation, if any. "todo_list" my $todo = $result->todo_list; for ( @$todo ) { ... } perl v5.16.3 2013-05-02 TAP::Parser::Result::Plan(3)
