vRealize Log Insight /storage/core partition is 100% on nodes causing cassandra DB failing to start

vRLI deletes old buckets when available space on the /storage/core partition is less than 3%. Deletion is done using a FIFO model. This partition should never reach 100% because vRLI manages that partition.
But in some cases the if the storage/core has already reached 100% will take the node offline. 

When you check the file system free space, you see content similar to:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 16G 2.4G 13G 16% /
udev 7.9G 112K 7.9G 1% /dev
