Hi Max,

thanks for the df -h output.

When we combine this with your fstab, that means to me:

-You are using an internal Harddisk with about 150 GB for all of your 
system.
Of this, about 8% are used.

-You are also using a swap partition (from fstab)

So there is absolutely nothing to worry here.

(Please note: It is a really bad idea not to have a separate partition 
for /home, but this is not our topic here)


-Furthermore you are using most probably an external disk (Freecom HD), 
about 380 GB size, of which 93% are used, i.e. it is currently nearly 
fully used up.

Lastly there is a device /media/disk with about 3 GB size, maybe an usb 
thumbstick or an SD card, of which 52% are currently used.

Is this about correct? If so, what exactly is your concern?

Kind regards
Eberhard
