Well, in my case, may be a while, it is usually every few months when I
clear out about 30% of a large (~11T) volume on my backup disk...
It only grows slowly as I make backups on it...then I delete maybe ...
60-100 files worth of backups (xfsdumps)....but for me dropping
the cache did work so it may not be the same problem.
