[Samba] HOW TO ADD PLUS A HARD DRIVE INTO A SAMBA SERVER?
I have a server with Samba with a 20Gb hard drive and I?d like to add a new HD with 80Gb... Do you know how to put it without reinstalling (keeping the old HD with the system and creating a extention of the old one with this new HD) ? Thanks, Eduardo

To get a more detailed answer, we would need more details about your setup: smb.conf and fstab, and what would you like to move to the new disk. Cheers, Geza
