You need to clear some disk space and get it working again, maybe run a
fsck. Usually after doing so even with ext2/3/4 it'll boot again, but it

If you fill your physical partition, it really doesn't like it, and all

and today numerous things that previously worked fine

And, I now see that all the space on sda1 is filled
so I have zero space available.
