Hello,
what do you see with:
df -h
mount
?
To do it with the least pain you need to use LVM. If your current setup does not use LVM, then you might need to hire somebody to do the job for you either from your DC or from these forums (I'm also available for this kind of job), as you might need to move existing FS to a new HDD or... something different.

Hi,
Since my original post, I have 3 x TB drives on Centos 6. I was able to mount the additional drives, but they were not linked to the home directory. I followed some instructions, but one of the drives had to be unmounted (sdb) to do so. I was wondering how much you would charge to add both additional drives (sdb and sdc) to my main/home hosting directory?
So much for being technically equipped to build servers but without the ability to use them to capacity! So embarrassing! I hope you can bail me out.
Thank you!

I was able to solve the problem with a combination of 2 sites: I post the links here for those who have the same issue:
1. http://blog.zwiegnet.com/linux-server/add-a-disk-to-lvm-and-expand-space-centos/
2. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/20608/increase-space-of-usr-directory-in-cent-os
Thank you!

I hope you've got daily backups to a remote server, and have your HDDs mirrored, as LVM does not protect your data, and in case one of your disk fails, you might loose all the data.

You're welcome.
RAID-1 MIRROR (and some other RAID) will prevent, but not LVM.
But still RAID won't help you, if you loose your server for any reasons.
