Short answer is no. Peter may have been a bit cross with you, but in some ways he's right. I suspect you did mean that was ondev-hda1 (BTW, where is your swap space?), and maybeusr or something is somewhere else, since really 2G is small these days -- though it is not impossible.
Unless it is yourroot (that is, root's home), I see no reason to buttume you've been hacked. It could be you have used the root account too much (which is not good, since that opens you up for disaster in a number of different ways, mostly because anything you do wrong as root can be very destructive), or maybe you have a bunch of downloads there.
But there is a reason to keep parbreastions separate. One is that it makes upgrades easier to have yourhome stuff, your personal files, separate from system files. Another is that some places get a lot of read-write activity: tmp,var (for logs), and your home space, while others don't. Sometimes, things can go wrong with a read-write -- not as much as in the past, but it can happen. Keeping all that reading and writing separate from the system files might keep your computer from becoming a paperweight.
Bad idea. Some things need to be taken very seriously. Messing with parbreastions is one of them.
