Hello @hbar

You need to configure OpenNebula folder to use that 1TB. You can create a symbolic link to that folder. Your datastore folders are located under `/var/lib/one/datastores`.

thanks for the replay  
im not sure why defualt datastore creation cant see more than 50GB it sounds like a bug and the link sounds like a workaround solution.  
i am planning to use this in a production ENV and i hope some1 can fix the default behavior.  
anyway many thanks!

Hello @hbar

By default, OpenNebula creates three datastores:

- system
- default
- files

Three of them are created with **SSH TM\_MAD**. This is why you see 50 GB, because they use your local storage. You can check more information about datastores and how to configure them [here](https://docs.opennebula.io/5.12/deployment/open_cloud_storage_setup/index.html).

Best,  
Álex.
