Re: how can I add disk space?



Yes, I have transfered the old /home tree to the new drive. I just 
didn't write it, because I thought it would be unnecessary. My 
problem is, I want to combine the capacity of both HDs. Because 
when I just mount the new drive to one point (in my case at /home), 
every data written in this directory will just be saved on the new 
drive. But I want to use also the capacity of the other disk (at this 
mountpoint), too. Just how?
