How to move the /var/www directory to a USB HDD?

Question

I have a default OpenBSD 5.1 install. How Can I enabled httpd, OK.

QUESTION: How can I use the

/dev/sd0a on /mnt/usbhdd type ffs (local, nodev)

instead of the default "/var/www" directory? What are the most secure mount options (for a webservers that only servers static html/files)?

Either mount /dev/sd0a to /var/www or configure your web server to use /mnt/usbhdd instead of /var/www. — Marco
