I have recently purchased an additional disk for my file server. How can I make XFileSharing to store files on it?

NOTE: the contents of this article were superseded by the native multi-drive support since v.3.2. If you're using v.3.2 or newer, we highly suggest to take a look at the following article instead: https://sibsoft.net/kb/using-multiple-hard-disk-drives-on-the-same-file-server-a131.html ------ The best way is to use the program named 'mhddfs' in order to join the several UNIX mount points in a single one. In example below we consider that you have 1 system disk and 7 additional disks that are already formatted in ext4 file system. $ df -h /dev/sdb 2.7T 600G 2.0T 23% /pool/storage02 /dev/sdc 2.7T 601G 2.0T 23% /pool/storage03 /dev/sdd 2.7T 599G 2.0T 23% /pool/storage04 /dev/sde 2.7T 597G 2.0T 23% /pool/storage05 /dev/sdf 2.7T 576G 2.0T 23% /pool/storage06 /dev/sdg 2.7T 576G 2.0T 23% /pool/storage07 /dev/sdh 2.7T 576G 2.0T 23% /pool/storage08 2. Create the "/pool/storage01" directory which will be located on your system disk 3. Install mhddfs on your server 4. Use the following /etc/fstab rule for mhddfs mount: mhddfs#/pool/storage01,/pool/storage02/,/pool/storage03,/pool/storage04,/pool/storage05,/pool/storage06,/pool/storage07,/pool/storage08 /storage fuse default_permissions,allow_other,mlimit=99 0 0 5. Create the /storage directory and mount it 6. Move cgi-bin/uploads/ and cgi-bin/temp/ directories in /storage/, and either alter paths in XFSConfig.pm or symlink them back.
