Open a console (xterm for example). And execute and show output of:<br />
$ df<br />
<br />
After this I'll be able to tell you the most optimal solution.

There also may be RAID. So he we'll need to use mdadm, that's why I was asking him to show df. anyway - seems like he abadoned his question :((

IMHO for LVM there is the only one best tutorial and it calls &quot;LVM HOWTO&quot; :)) which will help in almost 100% cases:<br />

For administrating soft-RAID arrays under Linux there's also great &quot;RAID HOWTO&quot;:<br />

Can I use a new disk to add space to a logical disk under Linux? How?

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
