Suppose you're not currently using LVM for those filesystem, you might take risk with partition utility to expand / shrinking partitions within the same physical hard disk. I couldn't provide you these guide as I haven't tried any of them before. Probably, some others ouy there could give you some advices on this. And, I don't think you can span the partition to next physical hard disk in this way, unless LVM or similar approach is used (such as RAID 0). Alternative, you might take advantage of symbolic link, which is easier and quicker. For example, this command ln -s /newhdd /home/walkernews/storage will create symbolic link /home/walkernews/storage that pointing to /newhdd filesystem and filing up the free space over there. The /newhdd filesystem could be your 2nd hard disk, for example. Hi Kumar.

I have free space in some other partions in the same hard disk and another hard disk. Can I extend the present /home directory space without affecting the existing data? Pls give me the solutions immediatly. thanks and regards, S.Muthukumar Dear Sir,
