I find it more efficient to mount a special partition here as well with

noatime on it to address that. It's it better? Mounting that partition

read only would restrict the changes to the site no?
/dev/wd1a /var/www/sites ffs rw,noatime,nodev,nosuid 1 2
Unless you can have two different mount point to the same partition?

Never tried it and always assume it wouldn't be possible anyway. Like:
/dev/wd1a /var/www/sites ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/wd1a /var/www/siteswrite ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
Can this be done and if so, any drawback to it? So, you configure

httpd.conf to use the /var/www/sites, the logs portion of httpd to use

/var/www/sites/logs mounted softdep and then /var/www/siteswrite for you

to use to change the files on the sites?
I don't know, does it really make sense?
