You could have a daemon which runs as root and watches filesystems (ala
df).. when a file is deleted, the daemon puts it on a queue -- when a
filesystem gets below X percent o' free space, the daemon clears out some
space.
This would allow (IMHGuess) easier configuration of what gets flushed, if
and why. For example, root's stuff gets flushed last (or first!), stuff
could get flushed after x days, y percent full, z whatever.
