Yes. \> this comes down to determining the correct heuristic for removing files, If you mean "user files" then the problem is that there is never a correct heuristic. Chris and Greg have pointed out valid use cases that run afoul of "largest" and "oldest" heuristics. We could tweak it but as long as it is user files... Erik has outlined a scheme that could get the machine to boot so that the user can delete some\thing. Deleting safe (cache) files + bind-mounting a tmpfs seem complementary. Deleting user files is a wrong that no smarts can make right. Specially since ds-backup is not there yet. If ds-backup-client is in place, files older than the mtime of .sugar/default/ds-backup-done are safe to rm cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
