Soon, I’ll need to increase the storage capacity of my Lemmy server. I use a Digital Ocean VPS running Debian 11. I don’t really need to increase the RAM, CPU, or other core system resources so I planning on adding some block storage to my VPS. My question is: How can I tell Lemmy/Pict-rs to store/retrieve new data here without losing my existing data?

Assume the volume will be positioned on /mnt/vol-1.

Thanks in advance!

    You could something like mergefs to just merge both drives together. Then you wouldn’t need to add a new pathway.
