Depending on what you want to do, another option is to create a symlink 
from a subdirectory to another linux drive. For example, you have the 
following directories mounted on separate devices:

/share
/usr
/boot
/
and you're running out of space on, say /share, but have lots of space 
on /usr.
Do the following as root;
Create a directory /moreshare on /usr (mkdir /usr/moreshare).
Create a symbolic link on share to the new directory  (ln  -s  
/usr/moreshare /share/more).

/share/more can pretty much be treated as a directory from now on, 
except when trying to delete it, deleting the link won't delete the 
directory on /usr.
