    Wow -- sounds like you have a real project on your hands there!

    I don't know anything about encrypted partitions, but I take it that you have run it out of space so you can't actually mount the filesystem? Because if you could mount the filesystem you could do that from a Live CD, right? Just boot the Live CD and in a Konsole window

    Code:
    sudo mkdir /mnt/secretstuff
    Code:
    sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/secretstuff

    (assuming it is a ext3 filesystem, and the partition in question is /dev/sda2)
