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.
