My general recipe, RTFM as always. You did not state if you were adding SCSI 
or IDE disks so I made the commands generic

1) fdisk (make the partition(s) 
2) e2fsck format the partition(s)
3) mount (new home partition) on /mnt
4) cd /home; tar cf - . | (cd /mnt|tar xvf- )
5) edit /etc/fstab for new partition(s)
6) umount /mnt
7) umount old /home
8) mount new /home
9) ls -l /home -- check to see all data is there

Good Luck,

Terry
