problem in proxmox disk paritions

[AlBayrouni]

Good morning,
i laundhed a proxmoxVE 7 server from a cloud provider with 2TB of storage
when the installlation finishes and i open the dashboard, i see that my proxmox is using only a partition of 50Gb as mentioned in the picture bellow



and the other portion of the disk is empty and not used as it's mentioned in the picture bellow





this is the result of lsblk and df -h commands:





is the error related to the cloud provider from which i got the server ?
or i have unmount the existing partition with 50GB and mount replace it with the bigger one (7.2 TB) ? (i don't know if this is possible)


i appreciate a lot your help
thanks

Proxmox creates a root partition where the OS and installed packages are located. This partition is usally 50GB large and should only contain your proxmox system. Your additional partition (what shows up as vmdata) is what can and should be used for storing the data/backups/snapshots of VM. This setup makes it easier to just reinstall proxmox without having to move all your data.
