They wouldn't see anything different, but Journal entries corresponding to files we chose to delete wouldn't resume properly. > In terms of which files, I think the oldest (or maybe LRU as they > say in caches) would be better than the largest.

I disagree; I don't think we're filling up with small Write or Paint documents, my intuition is that we're filling up with recent large downloads and movies. In the case where the problem is a huge download the user just made, your scheme results in deleting *everything*. Since we disagree, maybe best to wait until we have some disk-full images back from the field so that we can see what used up all the space, before deciding the algorithm. > Deleting large rarely used system files will not solve this > problem.
