Swapping hard drives

[Ralph]

Hello folks
  I'm looking to do a quick swap on a hard disk I currently have in my FreeBSD file-server.  It's an old 30Gb disk, and I've bought a nice, new big one to replace it.  The problem is, I'm not sure what the best way to do this is.  I have Samba shares on there, and other things, and as far as I'm concerned it's better if the system doesn't know [or care] that the disk is being swapped out, does that make sense?
 
  I guess what I'm asking is this, what's the best way to do a swap like this?
 
Thanks.
