Did you think about using OpenAFS? |

Having the output of "df" would help a lot, because it shows how much space is |
| 30 |
already occupied on each filesystem. What about /usr/portage? If you have a |
| 31 |
broadband internet connection you don't need to care about it. |

Hmm, looks like hdb1 has enough space for all of hda. So you could just boot |
| 40 |
into a rescue CD (my recommendation: GRML), copy the stuff over, eventually |
| 41 |
revise fstab on hdb1 and boot from this partition (to make sure everything |
| 42 |
still wortks as before), then boot back into GRML and repartition hda and |
| 43 |
create logical volumes (as per my first reply), copy the stuff back, together |
| 44 |
with the remaining stuff from hdb, then repartition hdb and add it to the |
| 45 |
volume group. |
| 46 |

If you want a more detailed description of the steps above, you can mail me |
| 48 |
directly. |
