New install of ZM 1.36 not using entire disk space

Hello,
Ive just installed ZM 1.36 on ubuntu 20.04 running on a server with 1.8TB of hard disk space. This disk space is set up using a RAID 1 configuration. Upon opening ZM in the browser and viewing the storage, it only shows 195.86GB available. How can I point ZM to use the entire 1.8TB space? Any help is appreciated.
Image of my disk and partitions:

Thanks.

Forgive me as I'm pretty new to Ubuntu. Why do you say its suspicious? I assume that is where ZM is writing to? How would I enable ZM to write to the entire disk?

Make the logical volume larger. It’s not a ZM problem.

Would you be able to provide some details or a information on where to look to increase the logical volume size?

Just installed Ubuntu from scratch and deleted the partitions. Everything looks good now within ZM. Thanks for the help!

That’s another way. It’s an odd thing, you’d expect Ubuntu to just grab the whole disk.

For future reference, when you install Ubuntu 20, it automatically enables LVM unless you choose to disable it. When it is enabled, it is by default not configured to take up full disk space. In your case, it is 200G and that is then where ZM is installed, so it sees a total of 200GB.
I found out the same thing when I set up my new linux machine with ubuntu 20. However it is very easy to then extend lvm to the full space later (and actually is also one of the benefits of lvm). See
