    Dear all,

    I am having this problem, my harddrive got full so i added another one to my machine. Now i don't know how to move my /home /var to the new drive. Can someone guide me, i just made the partitions using fdisk. 

    Thanks.
  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
