This multiplication may confuse users who got used to "normal" resize2fs
-P behavior (blocks) due to the name of API command.
I'm going to implement similar functionality for other filesystems
(ntfs, btrfs, xfs).
I think we should preserve original command's behavior (well-documented,
obviously!) and leave the conversion between blocks, megabytes, etc to user.
Maybe (later) we could implement aggregated call (getMinFsSizeInBytes())
to perform all this conversions.
