Just create a typical partitioning scheme for a web server, and keep the 
location of the logs and swap close to or at the outside of your disk. 
Going from the outside of the disk inward, you would have: / (small), swap, 
/www-jails, and so on. If you are going to have some heavy sites consider 
two disks: one for system and web content files and the other for access 
logs. You may want to look into turning off access time updates on your web 
content and log files.
