It runs infinitely and searches unarchived files in short intervals. It runs `fs fidarchive` on them. The `wiper` script will traverse OSDs that have the "hsm" flag set using {{{ # osd setosd -wipeable }}} On those, files that have not been accessed for a while are wiped, so that only their latest archival copy remains in storage. The scripts have yet to be ported to our specific requirements (as far as they differ from Garching's).
