[ale] Adding second disk...

[Mark Reynolds]

Hi Dan,

  Add the drive to the system and mount on a temporary mount point.  Then
you can use cpio to copy the current contents of /usr over to the new drive.
  Then you can unmount the new drive from the temporary mount point and set
it up in fstab to mount as /usr and reboot.
  Let me know if you need more details on any of the steps.  SGI also has
a Knowledgebase on http://support.sgi.com with a lot of How_to's.

-Mark
