WANOPT disk partitions

On a FortiGate or FortiProxy, if we assign a disk to be used for WANOPT, it creates multiple partitions but uses only one.

Below is a sample output from a VM device.

 

FPXVM4xxxx # execute disk list
Disk HD1             ref:  16  35.0GiB    type: SSD [VMware Virtual disk] dev: /dev/sdb
  partition ref:  17  29.4GiB,  29.3GiB free  mounted: Y  label: LOGUSEDXF25E3AFF dev: /dev/sdb1 start: 2048
 
Disk HD2             ref:  32  35.0GiB    type: SSD [VMware Virtual disk] dev: /dev/sdc
  partition ref:  33   9.7GiB,   9.7GiB free  mounted: Y  label: WANOPTXXAE57C0B3 dev: /dev/sdc1 start: 2048
  partition ref:  34   1.7GiB,   1.7GiB free  mounted: N  label:  dev: /dev/sdc2 start: 20916224
  partition ref:  35  21.6GiB,  21.6GiB free  mounted: N  label:  dev: /dev/sdc3 start: 24401920
 
Why does HD2 which is used for WANOPT have 3 partitions and their use? almost ~70% of the disk is unused.
Is it possible to extend the first partition to include the whole disk?

It looks like you attached a second HD to your FortiGate-VM config. The FortiGate will only ever use one HD.
