Thanks for your time

Hello, I suppose you have something like the following line in /etc/fstab: /dev/hdb1 /sw /ext3 defaults 1 2 /ext3: ext3 or reiserfs or whatever file system you chose If you go in your / directory and type 'ls -l': You surely have something like (* means whatever character): drwxz-xr-x * root root ********************* sw Thus you can only create a directory inside /sw as root Personaly I created a directory called /extra, then created inside /extra a sub-directory as root then changed the ownership as root of /extra/new_dir with 'chown my_name:users /extra/new_dir' (it is the same organisation in your /home directory) then I made a sym_link between my /home/my_name subdirectory and /extra/new_dir. I have thus increased the size of my /home/my_name subdirectory.

I don't know how to set permission to my user to use the new hdd.

You'd have to provide a little more information for us to help.
Assuming you have a new partition at hd? (hdb or hdc or what?)
Have you tried to mount the partition as root? Make a mount point in your root directory and then: mount /dev/hd?1 /<mount point>?
You normally can't do that as a user unless you do a lot of setup first. And the first thing would be to see if you can mount it as root.
