This must have been a bitch to port. All default storage paths of these applications have been changed to prevent writing to NAND. Is it actually mounting PNDs and/or diving into the appdata directories to locate where the data is stored?
 
Many many apps still writes a lot of stuff to NAND [ i think even on HF6 ]. Most dangerous from them is actually LifeRea since it saves all rss/cache/images data-* to NAND. I already filled up nand with garbage from LifeRea, so BleachBit helps here a lot.


BTW. I think some version of firefox writes stuff to nand as well. [will check it some day, just to make sure..]


*liferea cache eats 150MB from NAND while caching my feeds images/texts

In a lot of qt apps the qtpaths for e.g. Cache are used. Change them to qtHOMEDIR and this is solved.


See lightweight2 for reference.
 
Why not set permissions on the NAND such that by default, only root can write there? Even in /home/user/, although selected config files and perhaps one directory like /home/user/Documents can be made user-writeable.
