hi Hodja, thanks for the report.
Please can you provide the following details:
1) can you reproduce this bug each time you use Boot-Repair ? boot-sav/ log/2014- 12-30__ xxx/boot- repair. log ?)
2) does this happen when you use Boot-Repair from installed session, or live-session (DVD or liveUSB), or both ?
3) can you reproduce with latest Boot-Repair-Disk (it includes a slightly older package of Boot-Repair than the PPA)
4) how exactly do you try to kill the process ?
5) what is the exact filename of the huge file ? (probably something like /var/log/
6) what is the contents of this file? (please copy-paste the first 2000 lines into a text file, and attach it to this bug report).
7) about how many minutes did it take to reach 2GB ?
8) what is the output of the following commands:
sudo parted -l
sudo boot-repair -i
Remark: be careful do not let your HDD become full, if this happens, delete the huge files from live-disc. (eg via "gksudo nautilus")
