I have used the minio service binary (https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio) and my /etc/default/minio options are as follows:

MINIO_VOLUMES="/sdc1/minio/"
MINIO_OPTS="-C /etc/minio --address localhost:9000"

Could someone tell me how can I modify the above options to add /sdb1/minio as an additional volume?

I tried adding the volume with semicolon and spaces to the first volume but neither worked. Semicolon was ignored while spaces would cause startup failure for the service.

Apparently this is by design. No dynamic expansion. https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/4364

  • But the design let's you have more volumes on each instance: https://docs.minio.io/docs/multi-tenant-minio-deployment-guide (Example 2) – wmac Apr 19 '18 at 02:53
  • Right. But NOT after you start the cluster for the first time. – Randy James Apr 19 '18 at 12:55
  • So, you can spin up 5 hosts with 5 disks each (for example). Each host knows about all of the others and all of the disks. Once it initializes, you cannot add more hosts or disks. – Randy James Apr 19 '18 at 12:56
  • I think you can still add hosts... the developers explain that adding hosts is the concept (similar to other cloud platforms) – wmac Apr 19 '18 at 16:09
  • @wmac, did you find a solution? – rezam Nov 05 '19 at 10:37
