It looks like you just lost half of your disk. Do you remember the
original size of the /home partition? Did you recently run fdisk and/or
try to create software RAID?
This advice must be taken with a grain of salt, because your partition
and/or disk may be totally broken. I hope you have good backups...
First, try e2fsck -c /dev/hd? (where hd? is the actual partition of
/home). What does that report? You can also use resize2fs to shrink
the filesystem, but I'll let you read up on the man page.
