@Michael, I forgot to update this bug, but I went looking through other bugs and I worked out it was a problem with the duplicity bug that didn't clean up after itself (from memory). So yes, it was the crazy amounts of data usage in my /tmp directory - since my root partition was quite small.
My way of working around it was to adjust the sizes of my partitions to make my / (root) a lot larger, allowing it to handle the full restore as well as my /home partition (the final destination). It wasn't pretty, and took a day or two, but I did manage to restore my files. I haven't been following that duplicity bug, is there any word on if it has been fixed or not? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769323 Title: The volume "Filesystem root" has only x MB disk space remaining -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
