1TB in "marketing" terabytes (where 1,000 = kilo, 1,000,000 = mega, etc.) It's 931.5 GB in "engineering" gigabytes (where 1,024 = kilo, 1,048,576 = mega, etc.)

Your /home partition is 629,145,600 512-byte sectors, which is 322,122,547,200 bytes. This is exactly 300 "engineering" GB.
That explains it. Thanks. I am used to Linux systems displaying drive sizes with marketing units. So I was both correct and incorrect. The entire drive is being used, but I was not familiar with the measurement system. Yippie! Time to celebrate with another cup of coffee.
