I have /home on its own partition with a total size of 964.9 MiB, free space of 101.5 MiB Available of 52.8 MiB and 863.5 MiB used.

Now can someone tell me firstly why is available half of free space and secondly why when i go to properties of home it says that total size is only 298.8 MB?

Really need this missing space!
 
I understand journaling may be a factor but it cannot possibly be taking up 500+ MB's.

To clarify 298.8 MB is what is used on the /home partition when i go to file properties, where as system monitor says 863.5 MiB is used.
 
lost+found is empty,

strangely when i tried to copy a folder whose properties say is 280MB~ it says copying 630MB~ to new destination.

Any ideas for the rogue file sizes? What do you mean by check the partition yoda?
