I am currently running an Ubuntu server, mainly for Plex. I only have one 1TB drive currently installed in the machine, but I am slowly running out of drive space.

If I were to buy another drive for my machine, how would I mount it in such a way that I can increase the size of my current partitions? I don't want to have my Plex files and others split between two different partitions and two different directories.

Basically, I want to keep being able to put my files in the same location but have that extra space if that makes sense.

EDIT:

Output for the command sudo lvdisplay

  • How have you configured the storage on your server? Is it using an LVM? If so, you can add the new drive(s) to the pool and everything will “just work” 🤔

  • @matigo lvdisplay does output a logical volume so I believe i'm using a LVM but my knowledge is very thin so not 100% sure if its setup correctly. See edit for lvdisplay output

  • It looks to be set up correctly, so this answer from a few years ago should give you everything you need to add a drive to the LVM 👍‍
