Hmm.. so far I've hit few cases where the disk usage is not a concern, more
often than not the area
that one needs to depict seems to grow faster than the ability to buy disk
for it (meaning, local data
handlers often cannot afford a serious NAS, and those that do often have
continents to deal with,
at that point the NAS are small anyways... and disk quota does not cluster,
making GWC not usable in those cases
since HA is a requirement ... )
