1. first , make sure, new hard disk is already detected in your linux box
as you can see there are 2 disk device installed. for more detail, we can use fdisk command
here we can see, /dev/sda has already partition, and active. but /dev/sdb not. so we have to configure it first.
2. open the webmin,
hardware -> Logical Volume Management
Add a physical volume
After finish this step, we need to join both this, so that the volume size increase. To do this, we need tool in GUI (since I’m not familiar in command line). This tool is located in System, Administratiion, Logical Volume Management, as you can see in the picture above.
Wait for a while until it open
If this picture shown up, choose edit propeties
All we have to do is, slide the lv bar, from current to the maximum size you want. After that, click OK, and wait for a while.
If finish, you will see that you disk size is increase now.

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
here we can see, /dev/sda has already partition, and active. but /dev/sdb not. so we have to configure it first.
