Hello

My vps has limited volume for /. You can see it as follows.

root@nxacloud-bloghost:~# lsb_release -cd

Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

Codename: bullseye


root@nxacloud-bloghost:~# df -h

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

udev            472M     0  472M   0% /dev

tmpfs            98M  496K   98M   1% /run

/dev/vda1       9.7G  1.5G  7.9G  16% /
...


So I want to add a block device /dev/vdb and fdisk/format it and mount it
as /home dir.
Since /home already exists (even have data in this path). can I mount it
without problem?


Sincerely,
Ken Young
