The danger in reducing it too far is that you'll run out of free space
entirely, so that garbage collection cannot continue and your file system
gets entirely stuck. We ought to be able to reduce it to only a block or
two, but the code wants auditing for safety first - we have to ensure that
we never expand while garbage-collecting.
