[Bug 35217] Re: Unable to login when disk space is exhausted

[Ian]

Ah yes, my other comment about the current position is that it's
particularly annoying when you've (sensibly) put /home on a different
partition: by picking a different session, you can get a simple
graphical login working (albeit without menus) *BUT* there's no way to
change to root in order to delete files anywhere other than your /home
directory... and deleting files there will have no effect.

You can see what you need to do, but you're stopped from doing it...
argh.
