The root partition of my 12.10 Kubuntu distro is full and I don't really understand why, since fileflight shows that 72% of the disk space usage of my root partition is being used by the ~ folder, which should be in a different partition.
I have a Kubuntu distro 12.10 , installed along with Windows 7 dual boot.
The partitions of my 1 terabyte hard drive are:
- 720GB to my windows partition
- 200MB boot partition
200GB extended partition:
- 177GB
/home- 13gb used - 14GB
/- 12,9gb used - 8GB swap
- 177GB
It seems like the disk space is being shared and everything I add/put on my home partition is being reflected on my root partition.
Is this normal?
sudo mount output:
/dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)

none on /run/user type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=104857600,mode=0755)
/dev/sda5 on /home type ext4 (rw)
df output:

Solved it.
The problem was that virtualbox installed my Windows Server 2012 ¿image? in the root partition, inside the root folder. Firelight was misleading me.
