You could have a daemon which runs as root and watches filesystems (ala df).. when a file is deleted, the daemon puts it on a queue -- when a filesystem gets below X percent o' free space, the daemon clears out some space.
This would allow (IMHGuess) easier configuration of what gets flushed, if and why. For example, root's stuff gets flushed last (or first!), stuff could get flushed after x days, y percent full, z whatever.
