From what I saw in the config documentation it’s easy to configure multiple devices within the same name space using

```
namespace <namespace-name> {
    memory-size <SIZE>G # Maximum memory allocation for primary
                                # and secondary indexes.
    storage-engine device { # Configure the storage-engine to use persistence
        device /dev/<device> # raw device. Maximum size is 2 TiB
        # device /dev/<device> # (optional) another raw device.
        write-block-size 128K # adjust block size to make it efficient for SSDs.
    }
}

```

Is there is anyway I can do that without restarting `asd` service? using `asinfo` tool for example?

No, you cannot add devices dynamically.
