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.
