my box has two(2) 73GB SCSI drives

i installed OpenVZ kernel on sda1 then mounted sdb1 on /vz/private

i have 60GB+ sitting unused on sda1, is there a way i can mount this unused storage onto /vz/private for use for more VE? or do i create a new /vz/private on sda1?

this question is asked weekly.

easiest way is to create a /vz2 using your second disk and create/move new/existing VEs there.

sry couldnt find it, i will look again

thanks

EDIT:

no luck

i search the forum for /vz2 - no helpful result
i also search add storage - no helpful result
i searched add disk - no helpful
also create second vz - nothing

i also manually searched the wiki and the pdf - nothing

how do i create a /vz2 is it just a directory? or copy across to the new partition all of the original /vz and rename it?

sry for being clueless

I think you sholud try to use LVM in this case. Just add both drives into one volume groups and create big partition, which you can mount to /vz. It is simple.

thank you for the reply it is most likely LVM will be the solution

however, i started this thread 2 months in advance of the need for more storage and as a consquence i am still interested to discover what the /vz2 solution is. anyone?

vz2. Well, look at the vz.conf. I think author mean something like a symlink or appropriate or changing path to vzdir (For saving current data)
