Add new hard disk / lvm

Can someone tell me if it's possible to add a new hdd to a system and just tag it's partition onto the end of a current partition? I would expect I'd have to use LVM.

Basically my server is running out of space on it's /home partition, I have another hdd but rather than rebuilding the server I'd liek to be able to just add the new hdd to the /home partition.

If it's possible can anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks.

never mind I found out.

The trick is to make the new hdd an LV then copy the hold partition to it, then reformat the old partition and make it part of the LV.
