Question Add more disk HDD

[samugarob]

Hello,
I want to ask if anyone can advise how to add another disk to NGINX in Ubuntu 22 so that data is displayed from the second HDD when I enter my site and the path to the file? My second disk is formatted as ext4.
I want to have /var/www/html on the second disk
What do I need to enable everything? I tried various instructions that I found on Google, but nothing helped.
Thank you

To use your second ext4-formatted HDD as the new location for `/var/www/html` on Ubuntu 22.04 with NGINX, follow these steps:

1. Identify Your Second Disk
Run:

lsblk

Look for your second disk (e.g., `/dev/sdb1`).

2. Mount the Disk
Create a mount point:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/data_disk

Mount the disk:

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/data_disk

Test:

ls /mnt/data_disk

3. Move Your Web Files
If you already have files in `/var/www/html`, back them up and move them:

sudo rsync -a /var/www/html/ /mnt/data_disk/

4. Mount the Disk to /var/www/html
Backup current HTML directory:

sudo mv /var/www/html /var/www/html.bak

Then mount the new disk:

sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /var/www/html

5. Make It Persistent on Reboot
Edit your `/etc/fstab`:

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Add this line at the bottom:

/dev/sdb1  /var/www/html  ext4  defaults  0  2

6. Set Correct Permissions
Make sure NGINX can access the files:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html

7. Restart NGINX

sudo systemctl restart nginx

If it still doesn't work, feel free to share your lsblk, fstab, and permission details so we can help further!
