Summary of Changes

Hello @geoffreyweal, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the documentation for the automatic cleaning process on nobackup file systems. It provides users with a clear understanding of how the autocleaner operates, specifically detailing its reliance on GUFI for indexing, and explains the implications of GUFI's weekly indexing schedule on the visibility of deleted files in the nn_doomed_list. This improvement aims to reduce user confusion and provide better transparency regarding file management policies.

Highlights

• Autocleaner Functionality: A new section has been added to the documentation explaining how the automatic file cleaner works.
• GUFI Integration: The documentation now clarifies the autocleaner's reliance on the GUFI (Grand Unified File Index) tool for efficient indexing of files.
• Indexing Schedule Clarification: Details have been added regarding GUFI's weekly indexing schedule and its implications for when deleted files will disappear from the nn_doomed_list.
