cache manager of nginx not clearing cache as expected

[Igor A. Ippolitov]

Hello, omkar_jadhav_20

It might occur that nginx keeps files opened while serving them to slow 
clients.
You can try looking for these files with 'lsof -n /cache | grep deleted'.
In a case like this you might want to set a timeout for clients or use 
smaller files/chunks.

It looks like nginx cache manager maintains cache size around 200g as 
requested (243G in your case)
You have to ensure this is exactly cache directory which occupy whole FS.
