that's just a biscuit away from some real trouble... 504M left on
partition that includes /usr & /var and possibly /home
at some point, you might want to see where the disk usage is...

it probably would have worked had you followed directions...
fdisk -l /dev/sda

It might be '/home' or it might be a copy of it...
perhaps this might reveal something...
ls -ld /home

ps...it's much easier to see what is going on when partitions are
created with labels...
# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
I clipped out the nfs & samba shares but you should get the idea...
