tlug: Moving directories to a different disk

[Jonathan Byrne <jq@example.com>]

If I want to move several directories that are currently immediately below
the / directory on the root file system and put them on another disk, what
mount point should I give it?

For example, I'd like to put /home and /var on /dev/sbd1. If I
just want to move /home, this is easy, since I just need to make a mount
point called /home for /dev/sbd1.  But I'm uncertain of how to go about
getting /var and /home both over there?  Or is it only possible to have
them both on one partition if they are directly under the / directory?

TIA,

Jonathan
