Bug Description
Situation:
I had a full / partition and didn't notice it.
I run a pretty basic system, with a single large / partition and some swap.
What happened:
When I rebooted I was unable to log in.
No error messages. After a brief pause I was just returned to the login-screen.
Expected:
I expected to be able to login -- then get a notification that I should remove some files.
Short of that I expect a good error message that tells me to get my live cd (or a prompt) and remove some files.
