There are a few short steps to adding more drive space to Linux:

In this example we will fdisk the first logical drive attached to our 2nd array controller. Also, the partition we create in this example is partition #5 (c1d0p5):
  1. fdisk the new drive


  2. format the new partition using mkfs


  3. Make a new directory to mount your new space to


  4. Have the new drive mount automatically


  5. Test that your partition mounts ok according to the changes you made in /etc/fstab
