What are you trying to do or what do you expect?

A file system hierarchy can only have one root directory. You probably want to play with unionfs. You can read about its concept here: http://people.freebsd.org/~daichi/unionfs/

Hi
Basically the Drive that the Jails are hosted on is running out of space.
By adding another mounted Partition I will have more space.

If I add a new Drive to the Machine ...
mount it under /data2 can I just stop the jails and copy them across modify the jails.conf and start it up ?
I guess the best procedure should be to back them up and restore them there ?

Thanks for the help
Karl
