How to configure centos 6.5 with a 2TB Partition

Hi,

I have an issue where I set a 2TB Disk on VMware and tried to install Centos 6.5 with a single 2TB partition. When it was done it only gave me 56GB

I ran the fdisk -l and this is what I got:
[root@3R-FTP-SVR01 ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 2199.0 GB, 2199023254528 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 267349 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

How can create the 2TB partition and use it for vsftpd?

does this mean that the full partition is 2TB and the file system is only showing 50GB until it needs more
