 Replying to [comment:2 sebastian.huber]:
 > Garbage collection is done on demand automatically as late as possible.
 Every operation can result in a garbage collection. We don't have a
 garbage collection thread like on Linux.

 Is there a special reason we do not have a thread?

 > This operation gives you a bit more control when the garbage collection
 takes place.

 I see it forces a garbage collection so how do you suspend it?

 Your original post suggested it could be suspended and this would be good.
 After a large delete and reboot the start up can hang on the mount. It
 would be nice to hold this until we have initialised and then let the
 clean up happen.
