    Step 1:
    Create partitions using fdisk
    e.g fdisk /dev/hdb (for primary slave)
     
    Step 2:
    Create file system using mkfs.ext3
    e.g mkfs.ext /dev/hdb1
     
    Step 3:
    mount partitions
    # mkdir /mnt/hd2
    # mkdir /mnt/hd3
     
    # mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd2
    # mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/hd3
     
    Step 4:
    copy dir. to that paritions
    # cp -rf /home /mnt/hd2
    # cp -rf /var /mnt/hd3
     
    Step 5:
    rename old directories
     
    # mv -f /home /homeold
    # mv -f /var /varold
     
    Step 6:
    Add to fstab
     
    # vi /etc/fstab
    /dev/hdb1 /home auto defaults 0 0
    /dev/hdb2 /var auto defaults 0 0

    Step 7:
    Reboot system and make sure that every this is ok and all data in /home and /var is there.
     
    Step 8:
    After surity of step 7 delete /homeold and /varold
    # rm -rf /homeold
    # rm -rf /varold

    Dear All,
     
    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.
     
    Thanks.
