    Question /home partition halved after Lucid -> Maverick upgrade.

    Ubuntu is great! I love it! Only issue i had with it was nVidia HDMI playback but that wasnt hard to solve. Ive been using ubuntu since Karmic and except for the HDMI i had no problems.
    On the 10.10.10 i upgraded to Maverick from the terminal with "do-release-upgrade". I noticed that command while i was at a friends house SSH'ing back home. When i came back i ran the command and took me a few hours to upgrade.
    And to my suprise i encountered 3 problems (Karmic -> Lucid = Zero)...
    1) I cant use a few PPA's at the moment but its livable with.
    2) Compiz broken but i can wait. Maybe might compile it myself if i get tired of Metacity.
    3) My /home partition got halved.
    The first 2... Just inconvenience.
    The 3rd... I got 900GB's allocated to my /home so im missing quite a lot of space. I do remember the system reporting before that i had 900GB's but now it just says 485GB's.
    Heres what fdisk and df report

    I tried googling the solution but sadly i couldnt find it. Hope i posted this in the right section.
    Also i haven't tried booting with a live usb/cd as im encoding a short film for school and i noticed it just yesterday.
    Also does anyone know why SSH still reports this?
    Code:
    lisiano@Lisiano-Ubuntu:~$ ssh localhost
    lisiano@localhost's password: 
    Linux Lisiano-Ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Sun Oct 10 09:26:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    New release 'maverick' available.
    Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.

    And yes. I did reboot. The Restart Required icon is not lit either.

    Odd... I resolved this by resizing the disk to be 1 MB less... It spit an error and said the right size finally...
