Hi Emiliano,<br>
<br>
we have this right now: <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Frame#03" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Frame#03</a> So<br>
in the 8.2.0 release you can trust to have an indication of how much<br>
space is available.<br>
<br>
About having a notification to popup when space runs low, you should<br>
enter a enhancement request in trac. Perhaps too late to get in 8.2.0<br>
but could be in a later release for sure.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Right, we absolutely need this. Hopefully in the future this will improve when we have robust backup/restore integrated with the Journal, so that old and unused Journal entries can "fall off" the machine over time and keep space free. We'll still need the alert, of course; the notification system just wasn't quite ready in time for <a href="http://8.2.0.">8.2.0.</a> A ticket would be appreciated (assign to interface-design for now). Thanks!</div>
