I have a server that has a 198GB on the /home partition of which 192GB are already in use.
We need to add another HD and make it /home2 such that we continue to use the existing home for the existing accounts, but new accounts will reside on the
second (and later on third, fourth additional hard drives) hard drive.

How do I go about doing this?
Will apache break/lose /home on old accounts?
Will DA modify httpd.conf in userfiles and force them all to use the /home2 if I modify directadmin.conf (or whatever other files that need to be modified)?

Is there a walkthrough on how to do this safely?

Thanks,

-Alon.

PS: Should there be a feature request for:
An option to "assign account to reside on <enter partition>" and then move the entire userdir to the specified partition?
Possibly assign this at either Admin or Reseller level to manage different users, different groups?
