Is there a way to use another volume for mail directory?

Hi, I'm using the Hetzner Cloud and AlmaLimux 8 and have some accounts on WHM. Now, I have a problem with mail directories of accounts. They are getting bigger and bigger every day. In Hetzner I can buy volume and mount to the server. But, Can I use this volume as a mail directory of accounts or move some accounts to this new volume? If It's possible, How can I do it? Thanks,

  Hey there! No, there isn't a good way to do that. However, what you could do is mount the volume as an additional /home directory, such as /home2, and then move some accounts there using the WHM >> Rearrange an Account tool. That would free up space on the original area, and allow both partitions to grow as more data is created.

  Thanks for the very helpful answer, I try to do it and It's OK, Now I try to resize this volume in Hetzner and I upgrade 10 GB volume to 100GB, but my /dev/sdb (home2) remains on 10GB. Do I need to run some commands after upgrading the volume?

  Unfortunately I can't help with that part as cPanel doesn't control the hardware - we just read that data from the operating system. If the partitions aren't behaving as you expect you would need to reach out to the host to have them check the system.
