 * Monitoring and adjusting redundancy of valuable data blocks (according to targets found in system/metadata DB) 
 * Deleting unneeded data blocks to increase disk space 
 * Rebalancing data blocks among available disks 
 * Monitoring block read and write activity 
 * Monitoring free disk space 
 * Monitoring disk activity 
 * Monitoring disk performance and health (via SMART and empirical measurement) 
 * Tracking physical disk changes (disks added, removed, moved) 
 * Collecting per-user, per-group, per-node, and per-disk usage statistics
