So I'm very new to self hosting. When I set up Ubuntu server and jellyfin it formatted as a logical drive. I can't for the life of me parse how I add the other terabytes worth of disks I have to the machine. Can someone eli5?

It didn't format as a logical drive, a logical drive was created then partitioned, then formatted with whatever filesystem you chose. A logical drive is just an easy to "handle" or representation of storage that makes it easy to work with instead of having to directly address many devices at once. It's like a grouping of things.

That being said, you just need to expand the partition to use all available space: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/resize-lvm-simple
