Extend partition with the free space of other disk?

Question

I have a 8GB / partition and free 4TB on the other disk.
First disk's partitions are /dev/sda1 and /sda2 and the second disk's is /dev/sdc.
Is it possible to extend the / partition with the free space of the second disk?

$ df -h
Filesystem    Size   Used   Avail    Use%    Mounted on
udev          3.9G      0    3.9G      0%    /dev
tmpfs         794M    79M    715M     10%    /run
/dev/sda2     7.2G   7.2G       0    100%    /
tmpfs         3.9G      0    3.9G      0%    /dev/shm
tmpfs         5.0M      0    5.0M      0%    /run/lock
tmpfs         3.9G      0    3.9G      0%    /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/loop0     98M    98M       0    100%    /snap/core/10444
/dev/loop1     98M    98M       0    100%    /snap/core/10185
/dev/md0       14T    26M     14T      1%    /mnt/zm
tmpfs         794M      0    794M      0%    /run/user/1000

If you are using logical volumes, then yes. It’s not too complicated, either. — , Jan 14 '21 at 11:48
Are you using logical volumes? Can you update your question to include the output of df -h and sudo lvdisplay? This will make it easier to confirm things and provide more specific details. — , Jan 14 '21 at 11:52
Does this answer your question? How can I create one logical volume over two disks using LVM? — WinEunuuchs2Unix, Jan 14 '21 at 12:18
@WinEunuuchs2Unix thanks, I will try it and give a feedback later. — amshinski, Jan 14 '21 at 12:24
Looks like you do not have an LVM in place, which will complicate things a bit. The most logical solution may be to move your /home directory and, if you have various services like a database or web server running, perhaps some of those, too. The output of df -h shows you have a 14TB device, but your question says 4TB. Is this a typo? — , Jan 14 '21 at 12:24
@Matigo I'm pretty bad at it, I used sudo lsblk and it returned that md0 disk consists of 4gb parts. I thought that I'd use only one 4gb part (/dev/sdc). — amshinski, Jan 14 '21 at 12:28
It is also possible with btrfs. ext4 can be converted to btrfs. — Pilot6, Jan 18 '21 at 16:51
