Joyride 2174 treemap
You can see the two OS images that have previously been installed using olpc-update. /versions/pristine is the original data, /versions/run are hard linked to pristine (unless modified by the user). Top right is the actual running OS data (hard linked to one of the /versions/run blocks). /home/olpc stores all user generated data (Journal entries, Activities, etc).
