Read up on LVM as this does not seem specific to Proxmox.

Hi,
be sure that your 1TB-disk is not used (I assume it's the storage test)
1a. take a look with "pvs","vgs"+"lvs"
1. Delete the storage test
2. change the partitiontype from sdb1 to 8e (lvm).
3. do an "pvcreate /dev/sdb1"
3. extend your VG with "vgextend pve /dev/sdb1
4. look with pvs + vgs
5. extend your LVs.

But you don't have any security due an failed hdd!!

Ok, I use LVM, and it working
[h=3]LVM Groups with Local Backing[/h]In this configuration, physical block devices (which can be DRBD devices) are used as the physical volumes for LVM logical volume storage. Before you can store VM´s this way, you first need to configure LVM2 using the console. Full management is not possible through the web interface at this time
This is a three step procedure (I just plugged in a 8 GB USB Stick for demonstration, recognized as /dev/sdb on my box)

1. Physically install all devices you wish to import into a volume group
2. Define those physical devices as LVM physical volumes (storage that can be used by LVM volume groups.

First create the physical volume (pv):
proxmox-ve:~# pvcreate /dev/sdb1
Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" successfully created
proxmox-ve:~#Second, create a volume group (vg):
proxmox-ve:~# vgcreate usb-stick /dev/sdb1
Volume group "usb-stick" successfully created
proxmox-ve:~#And finally: Add the LVM Group to the storage list via the web interface:

"Storage name: usb", "Base storage: Existing volume groups", "Volume Group Name: usb-stick"
