Do LVM or manage Partitions/disks for Cloud VPS

I just got a Cloud VPS at LA Quadranet location from ProviderService.com aff link

Its supposed to have a 50GB SSD but the VPS handed over had 10GB root partition plus an unused 50GB partition.

When I do df –h it gives me two mount points
/dev/vda1 9.3G 834M 8.0G 10% /
/dev/vdb1 50G 52M 49G 1% /data

fdisk -l also shows these being two different hard drives.

The support said "this is just one hard drive with two partitions." this is one hard disk asked them if I can combine the two using gparted or something but they also said you can't combine.

Can you help me identify what is possible ? I'd like to have one single parition so I shall either use the 50GB one or make it an LVM if these are separate disks?

Here is a screenshot of gParted http://prnt.sc/c29tkv
and fdisk -l http://prnt.sc/c2a1xz

    My colleague initially send you this wrong information, but we already explained last Thursday that these are actually two different virtual disks. Please excuse any inconvenience caused.

  • That's OK...@UltraVPS!

    Can you not provision the server in a way so that I have one single unified storage to use ?? let it be 50GB single disk...

    @mehargags if you can't have one single vdisk why dont you use sym link ?

    Well I instead mounted the second 50GB drive to /home which is a more convenient solution.
    Still... I'd prefer a one disk scenario on VPSs to make it straightforward affair.
