Hello,

While it is not yet a concern, I am trying to figure something out that does 
not seem to be well documented in the man pages or the fqa about the file 
systems.

I am currently running a plan9front instance with cwfs64x (the whole "hjfs is 
experimental, you could loose your files" seemed to be a bit dangerous when I 
started everything) and I understand that it is a WORM file system.  My 
question is for the end game.  If the storage gets full with all of the diffs, 
is there a way for the oldest ones to roll off, or do you need to expand the 
storage or export them or ?  I come from the linux world where this is not a 
feature file system wise and worst case I would have lvm's that I could just 
grow or with repos I could cull the older diffs, if needed.

If there is additional features for this in hjfs, that would be nice to know 
too.  I am just really trying to understand the limits of the technology and 
what expectations to have.  Otherwise, I love the plan9 environment and knowing 
what options I have for when I inevitably get to that point would put me more 
at ease in trusting more operations to be conducted on Plan9 systems.

Best and thank you!
~Joey
