    Hi, i've buyed a server So You Start from OVH with 3 hard disk. I've 3 hard disk of 2TB, so 6TB in total.
    I've installed Debian 9 with IspConfig, but i see only 1 hard disk mounted. (I've attached screenshot)
    How to add the other 2 hard disk? As we have to upload many files like 3-4 TB, I wish that once the space is finished, it start saving on the other hard drives. It's possible?

    Did you install Debian with manual disk partitioning? That way you can create partitions, file systems and assign mount points.
    Now you can use
    Code:
    fdisk -l
    to see what disks the host has. Then use Debian admin manual to create partitions, file systems and assign mount points.

    Disks are not added in ISPConfig. Add disks in operating system, Debian in your case.
    No.
    If you already have 4 Terabytes data, seems the only way to set up the 3 disks of 2T each is to make them into one 6 T disk. Drawback is there is no redundancy, and if one disk goes bad all data is lost.
    Where are backups going? There is no space in that host for them.

    We can do backup manually every week or month, it's not important. But how to make a disk of 6tb? Can you help me? Thanks
