Vesta Control Panel - Forum

i have server with following spec

Intel Core i3-530 2.93 GHz
4GB RAM
Storage 2x 1000GB HW RAID
CentOS 7.2, 64 bits

with NO RAID

i installed VESTA CP .It works OK but i have little problem i only able to utilize 1 hard drive not second
(when i upload data more than 1 TB my first hard drive full so its means 2nd drive is not usefull)

lsblk commend

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 200M 0 part /boot
├─sda2 8:2 0 930.3G 0 part /
└─sda3 8:3 0 1G 0 part [SWAP]
sdb 8:16 0 931.5G 0 disk

I am newbie i need help any clue that close me to utilize my second hard drive.

Mount your second hdd as /home
(before this make copy all from /home folder)

PS: RAID better than your idea use two hdd as different ;-)

can you please elaborate this process it is request

* copy all files from /home to for example /root
* delete all files and folders in /home
* make partition and mount as /home

if partition ready, then simple mount /dev/sd(b or your letter) /home

* and you need add in /etc/fstab record about your hdd and new home partition or every reboot you need mount /home again

what if i do fresh reinstall of CENT OS ? than VESTA cp....
i appreciate your hard work honestly but i unable to catch your points.Is there any way to simplify this process overall my need is using 2nd hard drive as i install vesta cp first time so there is not imported data on both drives.I know that my question and reply are very basic and maybe bother you but please bear it.... I have no other solution to solve this issue

Why you want make install with RAID-1 and use 2 hdd same time? ;-)
