Add Extra Hard Disk

[keroro84]

How to add an extra hard disk to an existing (running) eBOX ?

[nicolasdiogo]

that is not really an ebox question

it would be better answered on ubuntu forum - since it is an OS question.

but as a start it depends on your motherboard and how many connection you have available, type of connection (eg: sata) and what your current disk/raid/lvm is.

could you post more details of your setup?

For data ?

Best way is to add the harddisk with webmin (see howto webmin on this forum).
Very easy to do.  Make a mirror and mount it to /mnt/data or something like that.
use ext3.  This is how I do this ;-)  Works great !
