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.
