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?

You'll need to provide details on what exactly you have for disks and how you want to use them if you want a recommendation.
