Adding Disk Space

(SuSE Linux 10.0) I need to add some disk space to my /public folder. I am currently running a single partition on a single 125 GB disk drive. My intentions are to mount the new drive to a temporary folder, /pubnew for example, copy everything from /public to /pubnew, delete the files in /public, and then rename /pubnew to /public. On the surface, this sounds okay but it is so simple that it makes me think I have missed something. Can anybody see a way that this procedure can get me into serious trouble? I'd appreciate any comments. Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules
