Hi StephenB, yes I do have ssh enabled. I did upload logs via email.
Would you like me to provide the listing of /home?
Thank you!

Thank you!Right now /home is a mount point, so looking there is same as looking in the home folder of the data volume.
What matters is what is underneath the mount point (e.g. what is in the placeholder /home folder).
I suggest you look to see how full the OS partition is generally. If it is overly full, then seeing what's underneath the mount point is more critical.
To see what's underneath you'd enter
mount --bind / /mnt
Then look in /mnt/home, deleting folders and files that you see there (perhaps copying them to the data volume first). If you see empty folders (for instance admin) you can leave them if you like.
When done,
umount /mnt

Thanks for the insight. I believe I understand what you said, but when I mount / to /mnt and list the files I see the following nothing inside /home except an 'admin' directory with nothing in it.
Also when you ask to look at how full the OS partition is, are you just wanting a df-h to see if the '/' partition is full? I did it below and it appears its only 65% full.

That's still fairly full.
If you do that mount bind again you could do e.g.
# rmdir /mnt/home/admin
You should then stop getting future messages about /home not being empty.Which apps do you have installed?
