Hello,

our root disk (only 2GB big) is now nearly full. I cleaned already
all unneccessary files (tar.., temp files...) and linked
 /tmp to /home2/tmp as well /var/tmp to /home2/var/tmp.
So I could not save more space. 

Up to now no logical volumes are defined. The system has got
4GB and 18GB external disk attached recently.

/dev/dsk/c0t6d0    1650769 1457662   28030   98% /
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0    3702049 1266247 2065597   38% /users
/dev/dsk/c1t6d0    17306470  513298 15062525    3% /home2

I could add another 18GB external SingleEnded SCSI drive
(We were not able to plug the SUN disk on the fast-wide SCSI interface
due to termination mismatch so we need to use the slower 8Bit SCSI
interface for /home2 disk) which is not yet on the system. OS is HP-UX 10.20.

My question is now: How can i add the new 18GB external disk to root
disk as one common logical volume without a need of reinstalling
the whole system? Is it possible in principle. As I do not have any
experience with logical volumes any hint would be very appreciated.

Best regards,
Rupert Thanner
