I'm a little bit confused about the available disk space on this system:

root at box3-squeak:~# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1            3.0G  607M  2.3G  22% /
tmpfs                 504M     0  504M   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                   10M   80K   10M   1% /dev
tmpfs                 504M  4.0K  504M   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                  24K   12K   12K  50% /var/gandi

It appears to be only 3GB and I think Chris requested something like
60GB or greater.  Is this perhaps a logical volume that I can expand? 
I'm still looking but I'm having trouble finding any gandi.net help
documentation.
