Almost all filesystems have a minimum possible size indepedent of the data =
they contain as well. You would also need this information if you wanted=
to know if you had enough room to create a new partition. For example, =
if you wanted to make a new FAT32 partition you would need to have enough=
room for the file allocation table. (+ other data)

Maybe a `free_blocks' field is not what I'm thinking of, but rather a
`minimal_fs_size'. I suspect most FSs can simply set that to the used
size -- it least, if they are able to defragment or whatever is
necessary to not use more space when being shrunk -- others may add a
safety margin, that they can estimate best.
