The only large-ish site (30GB) will live on it's own block storage device.

I've never been able to wrap my head around how anyone can predict their future disk usage -- and the penalty for getting it wrong under OpenBSD is quite severe... As far as I know, there's no good way to move / expand / reduce filesystems, and the only way forward is to rebuild from scratch with new numbers. Today, I have / and /var as the only two filesystems (plus swap), and I will graft additional block storage onto specific mount points if there's a subdirectory that expands beyond what has been allocated. Thanks for your comments.
