Resource-Demand Garbage Collection Scheduling
This policy performs garbage collection when the amount of some resource
falls below (or grows above) some limit. Some example policies:
- Collect garbage when the amount of free space on the physical
filesystem where fakefs resides falls below some threshold.
- Collect garbage when the amount of space occupied by fakefs
on the physical filesystem where fakefs resides grows above some
threshold.
This policy is supported by invoking the garbage collector whenever
fakefs has to consume disk space.
