move the files in /var/snd/ into somewhere like /var/tmp/ then mount the new drive at /var/snd using whatever your os has a s a disk partition manager
then mv the files from /var/tmp/ to var/snd/ and make sure you set the permisions [chmod -R rduser:users /var/snd] change rduser to whoever runs your rivendell if required. I would say right now you don't have the new drive mounted in the right place. There is no parameter to allow you to store files as mp3.
