If you disable GC thread, the GC function will check inodes anyway, but 
not in backgroun - in the context of the first process which will need to 
write and which will cause the GC to reserve some space.

So, disabling the GC thread one of you writer task will just be blocked 
for that checking time. IMHO, thats not what people usually want.
