I recently purchased a server that was advertised as 2TB (2 1TB drives) in size, when I use it it reports only one of the drives, I would like to be able to use both as if one drive.
here is the specs...
sudo lshw -C disk

is it possible to mount both drives to say /Home/ so I would have 2TB of usable space?
