+# This is a munin plugin which pulls total-used data from the server in
+# misc/spacetime/diskwatcher.tac, and a total-deep-size number from custom
+# PHP database-querying scripts on a different server. It produces a graph of
+# how much garbage/overhead is present in the grid: the ratio of total-used
+# over (total-deep-size*N/k), expressed as a percentage. No overhead would be
+# 0, using twice as much space as we'd prefer would be 100. This is the
+# percentage which could be saved if we made GC work perfectly and reduced
+# other forms of overhead to zero. This script assumes 3-of-10.
+
+# A second graph is produced with how much of the total-deep-size number
+# would be saved if we removed data from inactive accounts. This is also on a
+# percentage scale.
+
+# A separate number (without a graph) is produced with the "effective
+# expansion factor". If there were no overhead, with 3-of-10, this would be
+# 3.33 .
+
+# Overhead is caused by the following problems (in order of size):
+#  uncollected garbage: files that are no longer referenced but not yet deleted
+#  inactive accounts: files that are referenced by cancelled accounts
+#  share storage overhead: bucket directories
+#  filesystem overhead: 4kB minimum block sizes
+#  share overhead: hashes, pubkeys, lease information
+
+# This plugin should be configured with env_diskwatcher_url= pointing at the
+# diskwatcher.tac webport, and env_deepsize_url= pointing at the PHP script.
