    Please fill in any relevant information that applies to you:
    • CentOS Version: CentOS 7 64bit
    • Centmin Mod Version Installed: 123.09beta01
    • Nginx Version Installed: 1.15.3
    • PHP Version Installed: 7.2.9
    • MariaDB MySQL Version Installed:10.0.x
    • When was last time updated Centmin Mod code base ? : 5 minutes ago
    I have used centminmod to host two of my sites. One has almost outgrown the capacity in my server. I have added a second drive and mounted.

    Am I correct in saying I can just adjust the relevant folders and copy content to them to point to the newly mounted drive?

    eg

    root /home/nginx/domains/TLD/public;

    to

    root /home2/nginx/domains/TLD/public;


    Would it be a better action to move the data to the other drive then create a symbolic link?

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Just create a new disk mount for /home/nginx on the new disk and have your data moved there. You do move /home or just /home/nginx - both would have similar instructions as https://serverfault.com/a/908602/34814

    Oh if you do recreate on a new mount /home/nginx, you'll need to recreate /home/nginx/domains too with some permissions specific for /home/nginx below as root user in SSH
    Code (Text):
    umask 027
mkdir -p /home/nginx/domains
mkdir -p /home/nginx/domains/demodomain.com/{public,private,log,backup}
chown -R nginx:nginx /home/nginx
chmod g+s /home/nginx
chmod g+s /home/nginx/domains/
umask 022

    I would like to be able to keep one of my sites on the home and the other on home2.

    There isnt the option to be able to create one large drive move etc then drop the old drive

    If you trust your web host or server provider, they can take site offline and clone the old drive to the new one.

    I am the provider :)

    I dont have the capacity on the server to add in a single larger drive. I only have the option to add in the second drive.

    Hence wanting one site to goto home and the other home2

    I dont want to cause an outage to either site which are currently held on home either .
