Possibly, but unless you haven't fully partitioned your hard drive, "df" is best.

The more important
information is what does "df -h / /home /dev/sdb1" show?

        $ df -h / /home/dev/sdb2
          df: /home/dev/sdb2: No such file or directory
          Filesystem                 Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
          /dev/mapper/fedora-root00   15G   15G  885M  95% /

        What does that first slash do? Should I be doing "df -h /"
instead of just "df -h" routinely??

"df -h" by itself shows everything. By adding parameters, I was restricting it to specific items. However, you missed a space and also put a 2 instead of a 1, so it didn't work. But you included the full list below, so that's ok.

        Fwiw, I *think* root has his own partition. Every time I try to
use Anaconda for custom partitioning, I foul up, and end up having to
accept the default. <sigh> But maybe that's convenient now.

        Anyway, in case it helps, I also see
$ df -h
          Filesystem                 Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
          /dev/mapper/fedora-root00   15G   15G  877M  95% /

That is tiny and is your problem.

          /dev/sda1                 1014M  293M  722M  29% /boot

If that's the entire output of "df", then you don't even have a /home partition, so that's also in the 15G of /.
What's the output of "fdisk -l"?
At this point, it looks like your best option is to do a full re-install again.
