Home dir FULL

[Ron Scott-Adams]

It looks like you attempted to use /media/ban1home_ for your home directory (/dev/sdb6). However, you have /dev/sda9 set as the root partition, and have not mapped home anywhere else, so it’s going where the rest of your files go.

There’s some pieces of the puzzle missing here. Can you post the output of the following:
sudo fdisk -l

sudo cat /etc/fstab

Also, a quick tip for you: ls, du and df all have a “human sizes” parameter, -h. df -h renders much easier to read sizes, as they will round up to MB, GB, etc.
