What I do normally is:
# mkdir <newdrive>/var
# mv /home/var /home/var.old
# ln -s <newdrive>/var/home/var
# cd /home/var
# find . | cpio -dump <newdrive>/var
// you could also use tar nowadays for it
# reboot // because of open file descriptors of /home/var
// then
// make a spare backup of /home/var.old, one never knows
# cd /home
# rm -rf var.old
// it should work now
