<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My harddrive got full, so I added another one.
Now I do not know how to expand the older filesystems, I just made
partitions using filesystem. How can I format it using ext3 and move /home
/var to the new harddisk.</FONT></DIV>
