    Thanks ... it really helped, but for copying file system i used the following:

    cd /home
    pax -pe -rvw . /mnt/hd2

    and after step 5 /home directory needs to be created, i was thinking that it get created automatically
    mkdir /home

      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

      regards

        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.
