Storage Issue: 2TB Disk Mounted but Web App Only Shows 15GB Available

Hello, I want Immich to use a 2TB external disk as the storage location for uploaded photos. But when checking on the web app it's telling me that I'm at "1.6 GiB of 15.6 GiB used". This disk is mounted on: /dev/sda1 1.8T 48K 1.7T 1% /disk1 My .env variable seems to correctly setup to "UPLOAD_LOCATION=/disk1/photo/" . The permissions for the folder are: drwxr-xr-x My docker-compose.yml has not been changed and still uses the UPLOAD_LOCATION variable for the volume:

    volumes:
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload

Docker seems to be able to get that info since it's displayed when I run "docker inspect immich_server | grep -A10 Mounts"

        "Mounts": [
            {
                "Type": "bind",
                "Source": "/disk1/photo",
                "Destination": "/usr/src/app/upload",
                "Mode": "rw",
                "RW": true,
                "Propagation": "rprivate"
            },
            {
                "Type": "bind",

So everything is running smoothly but I don't understand why there is this discrepancy. I feel like it's something obvious that I'm missing but I can't wrap my head around why 😄 .
