I don't know about activation, but at least format does some kind of
check (delegated to the kernel, maybe ?): I used trial and errors to
confirm the calculation (running `integritysetup format` resizing the
metadata device between each attempts) and by resizing below a certain
threshold, I obtained every time a error.
I did not write it down (the error message) but it didn't hint to the
size of the metadata device at all, it was only clear because I only
changed the size between two attempts.
