Therefore, we still have to estimate it (like we're doing today), and potentially get it wrong. Maybe it is simply impossible to automatically calculate the filesystem size, and we should stop supporting auto-calculation, and instead ask the user to fill in a size for the filesystem (either in blocks or KB/MB/GB).
