I've lately taken to keeping the OS on a separate drive from the Rivendell audio files, and have recently been experimenting with putting /var/snd on an external USB drive. It is possible to use dd to "clone" a drive to a new drive, but I've never tried it. In your shoes, I'd be tempted to do it for the OS and then map /var/snd to a different and much larger drive. OTOH, I soured on SuSE a couple years ago and have built all my recent machines on Debian, although I may follow Fred's lead and switch to CentOS.
