Adding Extra Block Storage to Server Question
My VPS provider is offering me an extra Block storage partition for free so I am thinking of using it to store some accounts. However I was wondering how to make CPanel recognize this new environment and make it store new accounts in this new partition.

Just make sure they amount it as /home2 and cPanel will really do the rest Home Directory on Second Hard Drive You can also move accounts between partitions using WHM > Account Functions " Rearrange an Account 0 -

I migrated some accounts to the server I was talking about and noticed that the information shown as disk space usage is not accurate. Do I need to make any adjustment? 0 -
I also tried the following command and got some error messages [root@s2 ~]# repquota -a repquota: Cannot open quotafile /home2/aquota.user: No such file or directory 0 -
You need to first enable quotas. You can use the link in the previous response to enable quotas. In /etc/fstab you can copy the mount options from your root partition as well. 0 -
In the end I used these commands mkdir /home2 echo >> /etc/fstab echo /dev/vdb1 /home2 ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 >> /etc/fstab mount /home2 and got these results [root@s4 ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/vda1 60G 9.2G 47G 17% / devtmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.9G 17M 1.9G 1% /run tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 380M 0 380M 0% /run/user/0 /dev/vdb1 148G 61M 140G 1% /home2 Any other suggestion? 0 -

The problem I have now is that some accounts appear in WHM as if they were using 0MB of disk space 0 -
