needs to:
a) stop the application so there are no active references to the data set
the policy change will affect
b) evict the data set from kernel caches so it will be re-instantiated when
the application is restarted. This can be achieved by:
i. drop-caches
ii. a filesystem unmount and mount cycle
iii. a system reboot

flag, the change to existing regular files won't take effect until the
files are closed by all processes.
