Catalina home directory shows 0Bi storage

I recently upgraded my MAC to Catalina. After the upgrade the home directory shows 0Bi free space

Is there a way to add storage to the home directory.

I am new to this OS and after doing some research found that apple has changed its file system and the root directory is read only

I am not sure how to create partition or how to increase storage in the home directory.

Any help is appreciated enter image description here

Solution 1:

I assume you refer to the line starting with map auto_home. This is just the mount point for the automounter, it isn't your home directory.

Your home directory (/Users/YOURNAME) is in /System/Volumes/Data. You can run

df $HOME

to just get the line relevant for this directory.

Solution 2:

What you describe with respect to the home directory did not occur when you upgraded. While the mount command for Catalina will show the root / as read-only, /System/Volumes/Data where home resides is mounted read/write.

See nohillside's answer for a explanation of the the home directory's use.

Below are various versions of OS X and macOS I have installed either on real or virtual machines. All show the home directory as having 0 Bi free space.
