I am new to the arch environment, and while the installation I remember that I allocated manually for sda1
and sda2
during partitioning, and sda3
would have taken the un-allocated memory available and so I didn't mention it. But I guess I messed up since the remaining memory was almost 700gigs, but just after using 70gigs from /home
, my machine reports that it's running out of space and only 800MB is remaining in the disk space for /home
. Is there anything I could do now to occupy the memory or should I re-install the arch?

is running out of space, not/home
. Any particular reason for having separate/
and/home
partitions? There are several things you can do, but none of them is trivial - they involve backing up all your data and resizing your partitions.
