Have you tried, after booting into recovery mode,

My laptop, Lenovo X200 Tablet, has Xubuntu 18.04 installed. Yesterday
there was an update (upgrade?) which I allowed to run. When finished it
required a reboot. Upon rebooting, after the GRUB screen that allows me
to choose which version to boot, I see some disk activity, but nothing

Now that I have sort of successfully created a cron job to make a daily
mirror of ~/, it is time to work on the same for /. But backing up /

#Rsync_root_excludes
/cdrom
/dev
/export
/home/jjj/**

I mean, /dev/sda or whatever device your main hard drive is, you could find
out by typing
df
first, and see which drive your / is on.
and use that for sdX

Maybe try this? I’d actually try to read the contents of /var/crash before
deleting it, but it seems like if there’s an issue, it’ll write there again
anyways, and it might just be complaining about something in the past
