Dear @lebernd,
thanks for your encouragement… I read through some homepages, already. But there still are some insecurites with me… Like I dunno if it would make sense to make another volume group and if yes then would all volume groups be accessible …
But more or less I’d now know what to do… Thanks to you pointing that out so clearly.
Of course there is LVM installed. a # lvs
would give me this:
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
home vg_ucs -wi-ao---- 857,61g
root vg_ucs -wi-ao---- 23,28g
swap_1 vg_ucs -wi-ao---- 3,99g
tmp vg_ucs -wi-ao---- 16,35g
var vg_ucs -wi-ao---- 29,80g
next step would be attaching drives… and… they are already attached (built-in). and so creating PVs from the drives would be the next step… but how? a # ls -la /dev/disk/by-path
would give me this:

so from where do I know which ones are the both new HDDs without de-plugging them?
# sudo lvs
gives me
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vg_ucs 1 5 0 wz--n- 931,03g 0
so I bet I should use this one, right?
Enough for now - More questions to come after being successful with those steps.
Cheerio
