That probably means that objects are expiring as fast as
they are coming in. I suggest you look at
http://www.nlanr.net/Cache/Vitals/. There is a sample Perl
script you can use to poll your cache regularly and then graph
the disk usage.

If you see the disk usage doing a zig-zag pattern, then it means
objects are being forced out to make room for new ones. If the
plot is smooth, then you're not running out of disk space.
