Hi Kirov, What you want to happen isn't that straightforward. Unless, you're already using some volume manager like LVM and a resizeable filesystem that will allow you to expand the partition automagically. The following HOWTOs should help you get started and decide which solution to use: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/index.html http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html You can either use RAID (linear or striping) to combine the capacity of both disks, or use LVM which is the way to go if you plan to add more drives in the future. Hope this helps. -- .--. Michael J.
