How to use secondary Hard Drive for data

thefuzz4
In the server that I'm using at home to run the Astaro it's an old IBM 1U with 2 18.2 GB HD's in it.  I wanted to mirror the drives but the raid software for the server won't allow it.  During the install I was hoping to be able to set it up so that I could choose where to put what partitions but either I missed it completely or it wasn't a choice.  The problem I have now is that my data partition is filling up every few days and I have to go in and do a manual dump of the drive while this isn't a huge pain it still kinda sucks and it would just be nice to put the secondary drive to work or if need be I'm sure I can find a larger drive lying around and stick it in there and just reinstall the entire firewall however I would really rather not.  If anyone has any tips on how I can put the 2nd drive to use that would be great.  Thanks.

    Sure can not a problem.  Besides this request gave me a reason to finally turn on the shell access [[:)]]  Yes I am a unix/linux user I just haven't got around to or had the need to ssh into the box yet [[:)]]

    Yes I am aware that I am currently using a drive that is below the recommend size.  Thanks for the help on this.

    Looks fine right now... do you know what is filling up?

    What do you do when you say "a manual dump of the drive"?

    Well, software RAID's are not supported from the Astaro Security Gateway software. You need a supported hardware raid controller. If you want to use both HDD's as one logical unit to get the 36,4 GB disk space you must configure a RAID 0.
