Yeah, this occurred to me also.  /var does seem an odd choice since
there generally isn't all that much there and, if you trim your log
files, it probably isn't going to grow much.  For example, my /var is
450MB although 400MB of this is cached Debian packages.  In contrast
/usr is 950MB and is only going to get bigger. I guess it all depends on
the size of the new hard disk.  If it's very small then /var might be a
reasonable choice.  On the other hand, if its very big then you might
want to consider /usr or /home which are more likely to grow with time.
