Thanks for the earlier reply. Suppose my /home partition is on first hard drive(/dev/hda4) and there is no > space on the first hard drive.If I install the 2nd hard drive(/dev/hdb) > can I take the whole or some free space from the 2nd hard drive and add it > to the /home partition on the first hard drive. For ex I have one existing hdd of 80 GB on which /home has 20GB now I add another hard drive of 40 GB and want to assign whole space of the new hard drive to the /home partition which is on the first hard drive. Is this possible ?
