I didn't expect you would. That is a convention I use for myself. It just
popped into my mind as an example.

Now figure out where /dev/sda6 is mounted. That's your nearly 100G
partition. You can "cat /etc/fstab" to find it. It is pretty clear
that the report for the size of the /dev/sda3 partition, apparently
your root partition from prior postings, that it is only a 10G
partition as is /dev/sda5, where ever it is mounted. With Red Hat
type conventions I'd hazard a guess that /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6 are
two of the set "/usr", "/home". or "/var". But such guesses are not
particularly valuable. Actually looking them up, particularly the
larger one, in "/etc/fstab" will tell you where the bulk of your
free space may reside. Once that is determined you can adapt your
system as needed by your application that needs 100G or so of
storage space.
