For a low-traffic site that should be fine. The actual disk footprint depends on your needs of course. Only you know what those are. How big are your DocumenRoot directories, databases and mailboxes? It may make sense to partition the disk manually so that e.g. MySQL (MariaDB?) and the webserver have enough space in /var and OpenSMTPd has enough space in /var/mail and /home. Just make sure /usr/local is big enough for all your installed ports with some space to spare and I have done well with a swap partition equal to the RAM size. Also make sure you have enough reserve space to comfortable do future OpenBSD upgrades. I made that mistake on one of my test VMs which is still stuck at 7.4 because sysupgrade + pkg_add -u fails due to disk space limitations. I needed to recreate that VM using a bigger virtual disk. (Good thing my hypervisor allows for Snapshots ;-) HTH Mike
