But later I will add more Hds and mount them as /home/elchi for example . Problem is :

Hi!

I'm not sure what you mean by "rescue the data in /home/elchi" and what exactly what you want to do but here's (http://linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/hardware/hd_add.html) an NHF for adding a hard drive to linux.

Hope this helps :)

If I had already files in /home/elchi and mount a new HD as /home/elchi what happens with the files ?

Elchi,

If you mount the drive in that directory, nothing will happen to the files, you just won't be able to see them.

The best thing to do would be to mount the new drive elsewhere, copy the files from /home/elchi onto that drive, umount it, and them mount it to /home/elchi.
