hdd

I currently have a file server, all the files are installed in /usr/local/nginx/html/.

The setup is 1 hard disk with 1TB of data. This 1TB of storage is all used up.

I asked the guys to add 2 HDDs with 2TB each. This new HDDs will be used for new storage of files. Now, if I mount this 2 new HDDs into /usr/local/nginx/html/, the current files in there will be deleted.

My goal is to expand the storage in /usr/local/nginx/html/ without losing data in it. Would this be possible?
