I created a new backup system and initially tested everything with a 2.5TB disk. Once the idea worked out, I went to increase the disk to 7.5TB. I increase my volume on the SAN, then increased the disk in VMWare to 7.5TB. Then, went in to gParted and increased to 7.5TB but now im still seeing only 2.5TB total size on the disk when I do df -hHere are the outputs of some needed information: Paste from df -h/dev/sdc                 2.5T   17G  2.3T   1% /usr/local/bananas/Here is fdisk -l /dev/sdcDisk /dev/sdc: 8246.3 GB, 8246337208320 bytes, 16106127360 sectorsUnits = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytesSector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytesI/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesWARNING: fdisk GPT support is currently new, and therefore in an experimental phase.

It looks like the disk is actually storing data properly but it won't go past 2.5TB even though everything else is showing it is set larger. Any ideas on this issue would be greatly appreciated!!!
Disk shows wrong size on DF, correct size in gparted and vmware
hard disk;fsck;gparted
I just wiped out the partitions and then created a new partition, and then reformatted it as XFS. Everything is showing up properly in all forms of disk checking.
