Stephen and Ben are currently implementing this, it will
be in 2.3 :(
Up until that time, we'll have to provide some clever hacks,
like high and low water marks (leaving the disk idle for some

I'm not sure how to implement the high/low water mark however...
( Linus, do you have an idea on how to do this? )
Rik.
