Did you use LVM to design the system for future expansion? Or, did you just
build a filesystem for /opt on its own 3390, without the benefit of
something like LVM?
The ideal situation for fixed / limited size disks (IMHO) is to use LVM and
create a volume group, for the single mount or for a set of mountpoints.
Then carve up the volume group into the needed logical volumes, even if it's
just one.
Then, later (like now), you can add an additional 3390 to the volume group,
and then give the space to the logical volume, and expand the filesystem
contained within it.
If you have /opt on a 3390 mod 3 now, then the logical way to proceed would
be to allocate the new 3390 mod 3, create the volume group and logical
volume, mounted at some other mountpoint (i.e. /mnt/opt), copy all the files
over to the new filesystem, then edit fstab, and switch to the new
filesystem.
Then allocate the old 3390 mod 3 to the new volume group and extend the
logical volume to include the additional space.
Hope this helps....
