>Straw man from ticket> We're probably going to see this a lot in the field. It might be worth having some recovery logic. Here's a straw-man: if disk is full at boot, delete the single largest journal entry, iterate until disk is not full anymore. <end< Is there anything that can be thrown away before we start scragging the user's work? Browser caches, or similar things? How much space is needed for a successful boot anyways? Maybe there ought to be a dummy file stored just for the purpose of being thrown away in an emergency. Or throw away least recently used non-core activities, which hopefully could easily be reloaded from the web or a teacher's USB stick. I'd think that throwing away the child's work would be one of the last things we'd want to do.
