@stefano Why did you add an additional disk instead of resizing the existing one?

@jpl Because this way, in an emergency, it was simpler and safer. Otherwise, I would have had to resize that disk, modify the partition table (on an active disk), and extend everything. This way, I carried out a quicker intervention, given that I was in uncomfortable conditions, without touching the original disk. Furthermore, this allows me to revert everything to more appropriate disk sizes and organization (I can't shrink XFS, but I can still work around it by adding a virtual disk, copying everything, removing what I added earlier, and reformatting the partition from the previous setup).
