Managed garbage collection
Determinate-nixd automatically schedules and manages garbage collection, based on a variety of criteria.
The general properties of garbage collection are:
- Retain at least 30GB of disk space free to allow for system updates
- Operate in a steady-state mode with between 5-20% disk space free
If the disk falls below 5% free, determinate-nixd enters an "urgent" garbage collection mode to immediately free disk space.
