My hard disk filled up suddenly and now cannot reboot
Asked by
Chris
I am running 10.04 on Acer notebook and in the space of a few hours ate up 70+Gb of free space. I could not see what was causing the problem and using the space, but possibly had something to do with encryption although I don't think I requested any. I rebooted hoping that what appeared to be temporary files would be cleared and whatever process was causing it would be stopped, but now can't restart and after booting from a live CD (USB stick) can't access my home directory because says the encryption is not complete. How can I get my data out of my home directory please?
