Need help figuring out how to use my Debian Partitions

Greetings, I've installed my Debian Server over 4 months ago, I didn't quite understand what the paritions were for, but the server provider made my partitions. Anyway I was putting most of my files in /gserver and it ran otu of space quickly when in the store page it says 2tb I barely used 18gb and it ran out already. So I used DF -h and it seems that I got 1tb of free space in /dev/md/2 here is a picture I don't understand where I'm supposed to put the files, and I don't really understand how partitions work in debian.. All I understand is the root partition only has 18gb and where should I CD to if I want to use the dev/md/2 partition? Regards, Here is a picture of the df -h hxxp://i.imgur.co(m)/DgA06MF.png

Had to change http to hxxp and com to co(m) because it wouldn't let me put a url without 5 posts.

popularity-contest

POPULARITY-CONTEST(8)													     POPULARITY-CONTEST(8)

NAME

       popularity-contest - list the most popular Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

       popularity-contest

DESCRIPTION

       The  popularity-contest command gathers information about Debian packages installed on the system, and prints the name of the most recently
       used executable program in that package as well as its last-accessed time (atime) and last-attribute-changed time (ctime) to stdout.

       When aggregated with the output of popularity-contest from many other systems, this information is valuable  because  it  can  be  used	to
       determine  which  Debian  packages are commonly installed, used, or installed and never used.  This helps Debian maintainers make decisions
       such as	which packages should be installed by default on new systems.

       The resulting statistic is available from the project home page http://popcon.debian.org/.

       Normally, popularity-contest is run from a cron(8) job, /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest, which  automatically  submits  the  results	to
       Debian  package	maintainers  (only  once  a week) according to the settings in /etc/popularity-contest.conf and /usr/share/popularity-con-
       test/default.conf.

       Additional documentation is in /usr/share/doc/popularity-contest/.
