Office machine - After running lsblk I noticed I am not using all the disk space that is one the machine,



NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sdb 8:16 0 465.8G 0 disk
├─sdb2 8:18 0 1K 0 part
├─sdb5 8:21 0 63.9G 0 part [SWAP]
└─sdb1 8:17 0 401.9G 0 part /
loop6 7:6 0 86.6M 1 loop /snap/core/4486
loop4 7:4 0 101.9M 1 loop /snap/skype/23
loop2 7:2 0 86.6M 1 loop /snap/core/4571
loop0 7:0 0 137M 1 loop /snap/skype/33
sda 8:0 0 2.7T 0 disk
loop5 7:5 0 86.6M 1 loop /snap/core/4650
loop3 7:3 0 146.2M 1 loop /snap/skype/30


And when I call df -H,



Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 34G 0 34G 0% /dev
tmpfs 6.8G 652M 6.1G 10% /run

/dev/loop5 91M 91M 0 100% /snap/core/4650
/dev/loop0 144M 144M 0 100% /snap/skype/33


I wonder why the sda 8:0 0 2.7T 0 disk is not showing up here. How can I safely add (mount) or use this space? And why it is not showing up in df -H?

Because sda 8:0 0 2.7T 0 disk doesn't have a mountpoint. df handles only mounted filesystems. So if it's unmounted it won't show up. For that same reason, the /dev/sdb2 doesn't show up also.



Also /dev/sda seems to have no partition table there. If you think it should, check the disk health. Otherwise, if it doesn't have a partition table, create one. Mounting can be done via file manager or udisksctl mount -b /dev/sda1 for partition sda1 for example
