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

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 ;-)

* 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

I have no other solution to solve this issue
