Thank you for your reply. I've excuted that commmand and below is the
output:

olo9500# ls -ld /home
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 9 Feb 22 12:57 /home -> /usr/home
solo9500#
 

I know that my home directory does have alot of files but when I execute
the command df -h the root directory stays the same no matter what I
have in /usr/home/smalone.

Thanks.
