/var is where the logs go, as well as MySQL databases and Apache's 
default document root - I always partition this separately to prevent it 
filling up the entire disk should something suddenly bloat in size. The 
only other volume I tend to keep separate is /home for obvious reasons, 
in my experience /usr is unlikely to fill up unless you specifically 
tell it to (ie. installing loads of new software).
