Running out of diskspace question?

[tooljob]

Im in charge of a linux servers and we are running out of disk space.

We have Plesk on the box and it has only 1 disk which I got raided to another.

My question is. What is the best solution for adding another disk
to this server so I can add more websites onto it?

Im not a professional sysop so I'd greatly appreciate your advice here.

That's an operating system problem.

For linux -> http://linuxquestions.org
For Windows -> Call Someone

Uhh, not really. I have the same question, so let me try to re-word it.

When I install a second hard drive, how do I specify that certain sites get placed on that hard drive instead of the first drive. For instance, cpanel uses a /home and /home2 method where the drive with the most free space is automatically chosen.

And I will say it again...that's an OPERATING SYSTEM problem.

You need to use logical volume manager to extend the disk as a partition across both drives.

Plesk does not care what is where. Linux tells Plesk what is where.

Ok, since your so knowledgeable, why don't you give us a quick step by step on how to do it...

 

[maxrisc]

I don't work for Plesk.

Are you hiring me?

 

[nerbonne]

You're an idiot. Do you know what forum's are for?

 

[maxrisc]

I may be an idiot but I don't have the lack of administration skills now do I?

Go read Linux LVM and learn something.

You've spent more time being pissed off at me than it actually takes to Google the answer for yourself.

In case you are still being lazy...
