Adding a disk driveI'm coming to Linux from a platform where incorporating
additional storage could be as simple as plugging in the drive and
configuring it in online as part of any volume set.
Things don't seem as easy on Linux. I have a RH 7.3 system that was created
with one disk drive. I've added a second, creating a single partition and
formatting it as EXT3 (same as first drive). What I want to be able to do is
have /usr, /var, etc. be able to use the space on the new drive. In my
words, incorporate the added drive in the / volume space. This does not seem
possible - or am I missing something?

Not in a standard Linux way that I know of. There may be something you can
do with one of the RAID modes, as I recall doing this years ago with a
Promise card (which 'hides' the physical hard drives to show one continual
one). I'm not sure any software exists to do this in Linux.

Let me guess the platform - Novell? Certainly had some nice features.
Should've done much better than it did.

Regards,
Ed.
