      @kjoslin Ok you want to physically add a second drive.

      Then you need to decide how you want to do it.

      One option if your computer uses LVM (logical volume manager) you can just add the new drive to the disk pool and linux will just start using the new disk space. ref: https://askubuntu.com/questions/458476/adding-disks-with-lvm

      Second, you can add as a new disk and setup a new image directory. In this configuration you will have to create a second storage node on the main fog sever. Then when you define new images you will have to pick which location (disk) you want to store the images to. ref: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10450/adding-additional-image-storage-space-to-fog-server

        It depends on how you want to add it on the path you will take. Can you explain “how” you want to add space.
