Notes:

When executing 'vol clean' without the '--status' option, no destructive operations should be in progress or initiated while 'vol clean' is in progress. Failure to abide by this may lead to data loss.
If the user specifies the --force option, all prompting and user verification is disabled.
Only a single vol clean (without --status) operation may be executed at a time. Subsequent operations will block until the previous operation has completed.
