space to /home on my overburdened main drive. I haven't lost much data
(just the first 700mb were overwritten), and amazingly my laptop continues
to run just fine -- even though lvscan reports a missing drive, apparently
the data is still findable.

off my laptop, since I'm afraid it won't boot back up again!
