I have mounted an additional partition to a directory "DATA" in my users
homedir. Just created the directory and added this line to /etc/fstab:

/dev/hdb1       /home/guido/DATA ext3   defaults        0       0

This way everything in ~/DATA lies on the second hardisk. This is the
most simple way I know to add more space on a single user system.
