// loopFlushDirtyMetadata periodically flushes dirty file metadata to the filer.
// This protects newly uploaded chunks from being purged by volume.fsck orphan cleanup
// for files that remain open for extended periods without being closed.
//
// The problem: When a file is opened and written to continuously, chunks are uploaded
// to volume servers but the file metadata (containing chunk references) is only saved
// to the filer on file close or fsync. If volume.fsck runs during this window, it may
// identify these chunks as orphans (since they're not referenced in filer metadata)
// and purge them.
//
// This background task periodically flushes metadata for open files, ensuring chunk
// references are visible to volume.fsck even before files are closed.
