Need to mount 2 partitions on two separate drives to /home

    I have a server with 2 x 320 gig drives with a small 10 gig partition for the OS (mounted at /). I need to partition the rest of the drive (lets say sda3) and the whole of the other drive (lets say sdb1) to both mount to /home i.e to the users there's contiguous 630 gigs of space in /home.

    I'm pretty familiar with linux but have never had any experience with this. Any ideas? :)

    Sounds like a job for an LVM.

    Thanks for the help so far. But there seems to be a problem, when i try pvcreate I get:

    server:~# pvcreate /dev/sda /dev/sdb
    Device /dev/sda not found (or ignored by filtering).
    Device /dev/sdb not found (or ignored by filtering).

    sda3 and sdb1 are both partitioned to be Linux-LVM.

    Any ideas?

    but /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are not.

    You should instead run
    pvcreate /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb1
