Admin Handbook" 2nd ed. by Nemeth, et al. has a chapter on adding a new disk to the system (Chapter 9 - sounds like a legal reference doesn't it :-). No I haven't personally added a new disk to an existing system (under FreeBSD or any other foonix at least), so I can't guarantee that this will solve the problem. Good Luck!
