For an ext-based filesystem, add 10% of the requested storage to get the
partition size that will result in a filesystem closer to the requested
size. So for a 50g filesystem, make a 55g partition. Or reduce the
reserved block count using tune2fs. It will never be exactly what they
request, but it will be closer.
