Just use mount /dev/{partition name} /mount/point
Then copy all of the files over from the old directories to the new
ones. I can't remember how to do a tar pipe somebody will probably mention
it in one of the replies, but lacking that.
Just tar up /usr/local for example (tar czvf usr_local.tgz * when
you are in /usr/local ) then delete everything under /usr/local/ and mount
the new disk there. Then untar.
Edit /etc/fstab to reflect the new mounting arangement. Just copy whats
already there for other harddisks.
That should do it.
Althought see what others say, this might be th ehard way to do it.
