First of all, I apologize if this is not the right section to post my question - please let me know if I should move it to a better one.

As per title, I am running my HAOS on a Raspberry Pi 5 with a Geekworm X1004 dual NVMe shield with two SSD attached.

On the first one, /dev/nvme0n1 is installed the HAOS, while the other one /dev/nvme1n1 is empty and FAT32 formatted. I would like to set up the second SSD as a data storage disk on which to store media, backups, etc...

What is the proper way to achieve this?
Does anyone else have a similar setup and can help me set mine up?

Please let me know if more details are needed

Thank you for your post @nimble bough, but this is not the answer to my question.

What the link shows is how to migrate the entire data disk to another storage medium - from the page: This data disk contains not only user data but also most of the Home Assistant software as well (Core, Supervisor, etc.)

What I would like instead is keeping the boot disk as it is on the first SSD, and having data folders (ideally /backup, /media, /share) mounted on the second SSD.

I hope I made myself more clear this time 🙂
