This is one of the top reasons that I use LVM on my home builds. I
generally build with an SSD as the OS disk and a large SATA drive as
my /home. When I need a bigger disk, which happens occasionally, I can
either add or move up to a larger disk. I tend to just move up to a
larger disk as I prefer a single disk to multiple disks for both
reliability, reduced noise, and reduced power usage.
