df -i shows 4% for /home df -k shows 100% for /home This surprises the hell out of me since I did a fresh reinstall, just recently added the one single user (namely me) and haven't added anything significant to my directory. Is there a reason for this and how can I fix it? If I just reformatted /home would it help? Thanks. Herman Knief wrote:

Do a "df -k" and see how full the system thinks your disk is. I've not seen it in a very long time, and I'm not sure how you would have managed it either, but you could have run out of inodes. If which case, you would not be able to create files on that file system. You can check inode usage with a "df -i"
