That shows that the size of the root ("/") partition is 80GB, it does NOT show the size of the hard disk.

Go to WHM-> Server Status-> Server Information-> Physical Disks
and you should see the size of the hard disk.

And below that you see "Current Disk Usage".

This is a VPS, I have no physical drives. Any other way of checking as Physical Drives comes up blank?
What do you see under "Current Disk Usage"?

In SSH command prompt type:

df -h

what do you get?

WHM-> Home-> Server Status-> Server Information-> Current Disk Usage
and
WHM-> System Health-> Show Current Disk Usage

Hello,

While this is a prehistoric post, I ran into a similar problem just this week on DigitalOcean. Resizing the attached disk is not enough - one must remember to resize the file system as well. Instructions to do so for ext4 and xfs can be found here:


In short use resize2fs for ext4 and xfs_growfs for xfs.

Best,

Partition is not occupying all the disk. Disk is disk, partition on top of it is something else. You see partitions, when you check available disk space. Most likely need to resize partition (well, be careful here).
