Question Extending hard disk

[ismail el moussati]

Hi gents,

Onyx last version, CENTOS 6.8

I have added 50Gb disk, and i mounted it already on /mnt/vdb

But when i use command dh -h

It shown old disk only installed on /dev/vda1 100% used .

How i can mount 2nd disk on the same directory and make it works ?

I check FAQ there is no guide clear with instructions

Yours,

[root@xxxxxxxx~]# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1        20G   16G  3.0G  85% /
tmpfs           1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/vdb         50G   52M   47G   1% /mnt/vda2

Finally mounted but not shown in plesk control panel

I don't know how will you use /mnt/vda2 mountpoint in the scope of Plesk.
I would suggest you mount this disk as /var directory for allocation databases, mail, vhosts content, etc., for example.

Thanks Igor, how i can do this please ?

It is common Linux administrative task.
Broadly speaking you need to rename current /var, create new /var and mount your disk to /var mountpoint. Then copy all content from old renamed /var to new.
This is in general, the details can be different there.

I noticed that after each restart of my server the mounted disk, disappear
