Even if the dedicated disk has 800GB, the default partitions are undersized. I need to understand this better, but this is what I did: 

lsblk
NAME    MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda    202:0    0  800G  0 disk 
├─xvda1 202:1    0    1M  0 part 
├─xvda2 202:2    0    6G  0 part /

There's a lot of space (790+GB) that is not allocated to any partition. 

gdisk /dev/xvda

p (print partions)

n (create new partion)

Partition Number: 3

First sector .. etc

Allocate all, then 'w' and then reboot - otherwise /dev/xvda3 won't be visible.
