 If I fill the disk, I can't launch activities.

 This is because the os.mkdir(activity_root) in sugar/activityfactory.py
 fails with an exception (no space on device). This activity has not been
 run before.

 (You can determine this by filling the disk, mounting
 /home/olpc/.sugar/default/logs as a tmpfs then restarting sugar and trying
 to launch an activity - shell.log will have the trace)

 Can sugar activities be made to work here even when the disk is full?

 Reproduced on Sugar-0.95.6 on OLPC 12.1.0.
