It would be preferable if Evo would at least pop up a "hey, i can't save
your preferences" error with a minor amount of debug info so you can

I have more than enough diskspace available, so I would expect that the

/dev/hda2              24G  2.5G   20G  11% /home
/dev/hda9              99M  4.7M   89M   5% /tmp
