Assuming the drive is already connection and partitioned I would
	suggest

	partition new disk and add entry to /etc/fstab
	mv /var/log /var/log.old ; mkdir /var/log ; mount /var/log

	then hup whichever daemons are still writing to /var/log,
	and move across the old files (being careful not to overwrite
	anything newly created by daemons in /var/log)
