samba - Jan 2005 - 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

Since Samba is runing exclusively (at least to my knowledge) on *nix 
boxes, adding more HDDs is not a problem at all, since Samba is sharing 
directories based on their path, simply partition, fromat, mount your 
new hard drive to a temporary mountpoint, move your data to that point, 
unmount it, then mount it to the final (now empty) place, and you are 
finished.
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.
