If I could make one quick suggestion, I would urge you to attempt to mount you various partitions in more standard locations. For example, instead of mounting your "db" partition at /db, why not mount it at /var/db? And instead of mounting your "www" partition at /www, how about at /var/www, or the FreeBSD standard of /usr/local/www? Having these specific directories represent a separate filesystem is fine, and perhaps desirable, but having them all mounted on root makes for a less standard filesystem layout, which in general is not a good thing.
