That sounds fine by me. It would be particularly helpful to know
more about the specific machine and software in use rather than
"it doesn't work". In particular:
- the size and free space on the root filesystem
- the amount of system memory
- the amount of swap
- which applications and/or shell commands you were using which caused
you to run out of space. The size of the files created would be
useful to know.
While the existing defaults may be better, we do have the means to
configure it or disable it, and this could potentially be done in
the installer once we know more about the requirements. If we can't
fix it nicely for wheezy, we can always change the default or
document how to disable it in the release notes.
Thanks,
Roger
