[SOLVED]eCryptfs blocked by nvidia(?)

Hello.

I'm trying to encrypt my /home partition via ecryptfs.

Logout from user account, switched from DE to root on tty2 - ps -U pryka return no output which is good.

The next step is:

modprobe ecryptfs

and

ecryptfs-migrate-home -u pryka

but after that I'm getting this:

ecryptfs-migrate-home -u pryka
INFO:  Checking disk space, this may take a few moments.  Please be patient.

Anyone know how to resolve this and proceed further?

Try stopping your display manager service too (from a tty).

Re: [SOLVED]eCryptfs blocked by nvidia(?)

Try stopping your display manager service too (from a tty).

systemctl stop lightdm.service

Is this way of stoping is sufficient? Sorry I'm still quite new to systemd, was using Gentoo and OpenRC for over a decade. And I don't wan't to mess something out. I'm using lightdm.

EDIT:
Stoping the lightdm.service did the trick. /Home is encrypted. Thank You @x33a
