In general I agree. But what do you do for network filesystems? Maybe
we'll have a network filesystem protocol which allows to query the
remote server about the underlying filesystem. Then the return value is
dynamic and it's the maximum (coarsest granularity) of the network
filesystem itself and the underlying filesystem.
