    Any how-to or manual documentation in net that i can read ?


You can read fdisk's man page.

Presumably, your existing drive is /dev/sda.

After you attach your second drive, it should be detected as /dev/sdb.

Then, use fdisk to create partitions on /dev/sdb, mkfs to format them (presumably as ext3), figure out where you want to mount them, add them to /etc/fstab, and you're good to go.


You many also want to read about Logical Volume Management as a way to add drives and combine them as one logical drive. I am new to this as well but if you have growing HD needs, this looks great.
