Is there no one to help me?

i plan to put them on new HDD

i cant find how to create second /home
i mean
my sda1 /home = full
i want to create /home2
and cwp know about it


if im not wrong this is what op need (actually me too)

You would probably need to create home2 on the other disk, then possibly symlinks in /home pointing to it would work, or else you could put fstab mounts into /home (after clearing it out first -- as with the guides). But I think you'll find that /home generally isn't the culprit for disk consumption. A better consideration would be to put /var/vmail on another disk and mount it at /var/vmail in the filesystem. For instance, I have one packrat customer that has 75GB of mails in /var/vmail. Sum total of /var/vmail on that server is over 200GB of my 300GB disk allotment!

Or did you put /home on a separate partition?

so there is no option to create /home2 (sda2 ?
with /home still at sda1

I think you would have to do a virtual filesystem for what you are proposing to do...

any clue about that?
i want to upgrade my space too (like OP) but i dont want move all /home
i just think to add /home2 at new ssd/storage drive so if i not need them i can reduce the size or delete it... because i can upgrade space but i cant downgrade space

You can mount other storage (block devices) in the filesystem manually with the mount command, then automate it with /etc/fstab. So on your additional storage, you could make that be dedicated to a large user account and mount it at /home/biguser (after moving the current home to the side: /home.biguser.temp). Then move their stuff from the temp named directory to the new /home/biguser directory.

Or you could implement something in user space with FUSE.

This is just a large overview sketch, as the devil is in the implementation details -- and that's up to you!

mid-risk failure i think... hmmm better to setup /home at another partition from beginning (I think)
