Maybe I could for start rewrite v2 (I've sent it without Cc kernel devs now it's
mainly LTP internal thing) as it just to have 300 MB for XFS and 256 MB for the
rest. That would require to specify filesystem when acquiring device (NULL would
be for the default filesystem), that's would be worth if embedded folks counter
each MB. It'd be nice to hear from them.

Kind regards,
Petr
