Independant storage volumes, independant incremental processing, etc. With separate filespaces, you can also make the reclamation independant; this can be very useful if your file sizes on that huge tract of land are normal. You'll be talking many many millions; it could take days of expiration to cover it. If it's one big filespace, expiration has to finish the whole filespace before it goes on. That could be sticky in your case. If your filespace is full of big (multi-GB) files, this might not be a big deal. - Allen S. Rout
