No, the kernel does not have to be recompiled when you add new disks.
If you want to put /usr/local on a New (empty) disk partition.
1. mke2fs /dev/???
2. mount /dev/??? /mnt
3. ( cd /usr/local ; tar clf - . ) | ( cd /mnt ; tar xvpBf - )
#3 copies all files from /usr/local to /dev/??? (which will
become the New /usr/local
4. varify the #3 did it correctly - diff -r /usr/local /mnt
5. edit /etc/fstab - add the new partition
ie /dev/hdb1 /usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2
6. Now delete the OLD /usr/local directory. cd /usr ; rm -rf ./local
7. umount /mnt ( not really necessary )
8. Now reboot the system & enjoy your new drive.
