Yes.


Your first disk is (obviously) the root disk.
You can either have a separate /video partition on it or a /video
directory in the / partition. For my examples below that does not matter.

Assuming you bought a new disk, set it up as /dev/hdb1 and want to
put your existing /video/SciFi folder into it.

Alternative 1 (mentioned by Klaus):

   mv /video/SciFi /video/SciFi.orig
   mkdir /video/SciFi
   mount /dev/hdb1 /video/SciFi
   mv /video/SciFi.orig/* /video/SciFi
   rmdir /video/SciFi.orig

Alternative 2 (mentioned by myself):

   mkdir /video2
   mount /dev/hdb1 /video2
   mv /video/SciFi /video2
   ln -s /video2/SciFi /video

Of course, instead of the mount commands you would use /etc/fstab entries
as a permanent solution.

Carsten.
