Where, in the handbook, can I find where to add a new hard drive to an

as well as an fdisk, but I don't know what all the options mean and
how to best optimize this drive. Also, I'm thinking of obtaining an
identical drive as my system drive and performing a dump of sorts on a
schedule for backup purposes. anyone have any insight?
Not actually in the Handbook, but what you want is: the "Disk
Formatting Tutorial".

There *is* a chapter in the handbook, however; it's Chapter 16 in
my latest doc build (but I don't think it's quite _new_). Section .3,
entitled "adding disks", covers the scenario quite well.

I read that also however, I have a question about it. In the example I
read (by Doug White) he used /usr/home as the point of reference. The
question I have is this, what becomes of the space left over on the 1st
drive now that /usr/home has been effectively moved?
Can you merge this in someplace else? Say /swap or /var?
I wanted to add this - this is the example:
