Adding adicional HDD to HestiaCp

1

Hi, i’m trying to add a new HDD to my home directory.
I added the disc formated in ext4
In the fstab file i mounted
/dev/sdb1 /home ext4 default 0 1
After reboot, runing the lsblk -p command i get the output above
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
/dev/sda 8:0 0 100G 0 disk
├─/dev/sda1 8:1 0 1M 0 part
├─/dev/sda2 8:2 0 2G 0 part /boot
└─/dev/sda3 8:3 0 98G 0 part
└─/dev/mapper/ubuntu–vg-ubuntu–lv 252:0 0 49G 0 lvm /
/dev/sdb 8:16 0 1000G 0 disk
└─/dev/sdb1 8:17 0 1000G 0 part /home
/dev/sr0 11:0 1 2.6G 0 rom

The home directory is pointing to the new disk
The problem happens when i try to restore the backup
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/domain/web/backup.domain.com’: No such file or directory

The home directory has 777 permissions

Any idea how to solve this

Running sudo chmod 755 /home would be a good place to start. I know that isn’t what you meant, but every time you chmod 777, a kitten dies.

Your host is running lvm. I would take advantage of that and use the new drive to expand the exisitng logical volume.

I haven’t used the following tutorial, but the site has been home to numerous quality guides for many years. It should be a good starting point if you arent familiar with expanding lvm storage.
