Starting with 5.0.x, there is a feature by which purged disk volumes can
be automatically truncated.  This feature was BROKEN AND UNSAFE in
5.0.1.  It is my recollection that it is fixed, and works properly, in
5.0.3...  but as with all things, test first before you put it into
production, just to be sure.
