Dear,
I have vps ubuntu with 50gb hdd, and plesk onyx 17.5.
I requested from the hoster to add another 50GB hdd, they add it and mounted it and i can see it fom fdisk -l command.
However in plesk I just see the 50GB of the first harddisk, How to add the other HDD to plesk?
Thanks

You have to Mount new HDD use this page for more options for UBUNTU 16, or search it for your OS on google.

Do you mount it using commands? how you are adding data to it? Plesk can not show you second HDD via file manager. if you wish to use 2nd HDD you have to shift all your PLESK data there.
I am using 1 SSD and 1 HDD on PLESK and using symlinks to shows content of HDD on my website.

Kindly tell me that you can see HDD via SFTP or via RDP? can you copy or create data in newly attached HDD?
