You are only looking at about 140MB - why not just do a tar copy? Be sure not to copy lost+found/
TAR copy how will that solve the problem of merge  the file system?
You didn't give the output of above commands.  You appear to have LVM.  I need to know the exact situation.
could you tell me what commands I need to display to give a better picture for solution?
/dev/sda5 is tiny compared with /home and /. I suggest you copy the contents of that drive to wherever you want them to be in the file system. That completes the integration - you can re-use sda5 as swap or for any other purpose.
what is the "tmpfs  " what does that mean?
