I'd like to add volume capacity of /dev/sda
It was successful to add the volume to /dev/sdc by following the guide in the linode.
However, when you upload to a web page, you only use the capacity of /dev/sda.
Is there a way to solve this problem or to combine the capacity of /sdc into /sda capacity?
I am a beginner. Please explain it simply

What you're asking about is logical volume management (LVM)…
There are several LVM schemes available for Linux but virtually all of them alter the file system in such a way such that standard Linode services (e.g. backups) will not work. None of them are easy to set up.
However, when you upload to a web page, you only use the capacity of /dev/sda.
LVM is a $5 solution to a 25 cent problem…
Why don’t you just configure your web server so that your web site (and whatever else you want) is in a directory on /dev/sdc? The canned web server configuration you’re probably using can be customized to fit your needs.
