Comment (by zooko):

 Replying to [comment:4 gdt]:
 > The mark/sweep scheme sounds reasonable to me.  In addition, I as a
 server operator want a way to ask (with CLI tools - no web browser!) how
 much storage space is in use total, and how much due to leases from
 various entities that store data, perhaps even by age of lease.  And I
 want to be able to delete files that are old and belong to some entity, in
 various combinations.  I don't mean one would often want to do this; this
 is the equivalent of the sysadmin deleting big files to restore the system
 to functioning after users are warned and don't clean up.

 gdt: the asking-about-resource-usage part would be facilitated by #1836.
 Would you please open a separate ticket asking for the command-line
 interface to query these things? Go ahead and specify exactly how it
 should be spelled!

 Please open a separate ticket for a command-line to delete specific
 shares. (I guess using their verify-cap, and optionally their shnum(s) as
 the arguments?)
