Problems with disk space limited to 49GB?

I manually installed nagios log server for testing purposes and I'm running into issues where I'm frequently running out of disc space and the server crashes.

I've re-installed on a new server with more space (several times now) and noticed that the file system is only using 49GB of space when the server has 150gb.

Is there anyway to expand this so it uses more space or am I doomed to restrict retention to 1 day?

Are you installing Log Server on a fresh Cent\RHEL install, or using one of our VMs and adding size to the vmdk? If you are doing the latter, you would actually need to expand the filesystem on disk, not just provide it with the additional size. If you are installing on a new system, I would look at how the install is partitioning your disk, as it sounds like it is using some form of advanced partitioning that may be artificially restricting you.

Thanks, I wasn't partitioning the machine correctly... ;)
