too small linux partition?

[Joel Hammer]

I have had success in installing a new hard drive(s) and moving stuff
off the old drive to the new one, and making symbolic links to the
new hard drive.  Symbolic links can be a hassle, if you make symbolic
links pointing back to the original harddrive, etc. This works very
well for my /home, /var, /opt, and /usr directories. Of course, straight
data, like mp3's, are on the second or third hard drive, along with all the
backups.
Just be sure to mount the appropriate partitions on boot up.

PS. Yes, make backups. I backup all my stuff (except for video and audio
files) every day. This has proved a life saver more than one. Have a
copy of Knoppix around, too.
