Well, does 231M look right? Or are you missing data?
What have you done so far to trouble-shoot the problem?
Try unmounting /home, then e2fsck it. Add options -c -f.
Look at the partition with dumpe2fs and compare with values
returned by 'df', also try df -i to examine inode usage.
As a last resort, backup the partition, and re-mke2fs it
to see what that will result in.
