Volatile Area Data Management Policy

The /volatile area is managed by an automated process that cleans up periodically in multiple steps as listed below. In the rules mentioned below the target threshold is defined as the "aggregate used space by all projects".

1. All files that have not been used for more than 6 months will be deleted.
2. If a project exceeds its quota and the target threshold is exceeded (>75%), the least-recently-used (LRU) files will be deleted until the total usage of the project is below their quota and the target threshold is met (<75%).
3. If the target threshold is exceeded and reachs a critical point, additional aggressive file deletions may be performed using the rule mentioned in #2.
