Looking for rationale of fs naming conventions

[Kirk McKusick]

Most commonly, d was used for /tmp (before the days of 
memory-based filesystems). The e partition was used for
/var, and f was used for /usr. The e partition was the
same size as the root filesystem so that it could be used
as a backup root filesystem.
