How to add a New Disk to an existing Linux Server

If for some reason you need more space in your VPS, you can opt to have a second hard drive. It’s possible to add additional space to your existing hard drive (extend) or you can opt an additional drive. Having a second drive has great benefits. You could use your additional hard drive to store backups, host cPanel accounts, or host a database. The possibilities are endless.
