this can be done by applying raid.
there is a linear mode in raid which concates two(many)partition(which can be on different harddisk. for linear mode-->
in /etc/raidtab
you have to enter
raiddev /dev/md0 raid level linear nr-raid-disks 2 chunksize 32 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/sdb1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sdc5 raid-disk 1
now run mkraid /dev/md0
but before this u have to be sure that ur kernel support the raid.
one more thing--this will destroy ur all data..so take the backup.
i think there is some volume manager software that may prevent to loose ur date...i don't have any idea about this..

I have a Red Hat Linux 7.3 machine working as a file server with 36GB allocated for /home. I want to make /home 72GB by adding another disk.
Can you suggest how this can be accomplished non-destructively as well as destructively. I dont mind moving the existing data out of /home, repartitioning it and then moving the data back. I am using SCSI disks.
