[SOLVED] <10 GB available on 500 GB drive

I just had gone through a huge loss that is worth a thousand memories, memories which shaped me into the person I am today, memories of which would only become nothing but just a smear of sheer happiness and joy in my life.

I knew there was no going back, even after trying countless time, I was left devastated; for who I was left with nothing to remind me of the little things in life that makes you want to live it.

I had no choice. So, I just said it is what it is and just moved on. I completely erased it, and I installed,................ Arch Linux.

Though it felt like absolutely nothing had happened, I did knew nothing would get close to what it made me experience, or the facades of my memories it had created it for me.

It was once plentiful, A 512 GB drive. Alas! The devils had taken it all away! For all it's left is a mere 8 GB (was 15 GB but I used some).
Thunar only had took away what could be the remainder of my memories, the place where it lived.

I had run

 df 

to see if anything got messed up:

[<user omitted>@archlinux ~]$ df
Filesystem     1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
dev              4014840        0   4014840   0% /dev
run              4026688     1060   4025628   1% /run
efivarfs             128       82        42  67% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
/dev/sda2       20466256 10893520   8507776  57% /
tmpfs            4026688        0   4026688   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs            4026688        8   4026680   1% /tmp
/dev/sda1         523244    81540    441704  16% /boot
/dev/sda3      458436768  6057688 429018264   2% /home
tmpfs             805336       56    805280   1% /run/user/1000
[<user omitted>@archlinux ~]$ 

Indeed, it is only you people, that can atone for my mistakes of the past which accumulated onto this. My only hope is for you to be a part of many new memories being created.

Thank you.

I was sure this was bot spam throughout most of the post.  If you want help, try sobering up before posting.

As for the alleged problem, you say you have only 8GB, but where are you getting that?  The `df` output you show lists root and home partitions amounting to nearly 500GB.  So that looks about right.

It's just how I am. As for my problem, Thunar only shows 8.8 GB available storage. I tried mounting /dev/sda3 but it still did nothing.

sda3 is / was mounted - you couldn't be in a user session without it.  Where / when does thunar show 8.8GB available?  That looks about right for free / empty space on the 20GB root partition.

Do you know what partitions are? How did you install this system?

One restart later, everything was fine
