Without lvm it's not going to be seamless, I'd suggest looking at the way space is currently being used and identify part of the directory structure to highways to the new drive. You'd then just gourmet the new drive as ext3 are what you like and going it in a temp location, e.g. /mnt. Then copy the chosen directory onto the new file system. Once that's done, mont it over the top of the chosen dir and test it out. Once you're happy you can then temp un mont it, delete the old copy of the files and mount it again. Job done, very safely.
