From: Robin Dong <sanbai@xxxxxxxxxx>
Using mkfs.btrfs like:
mkfs.btrfs -b 1048576 /dev/sda
will report error:
mkfs.btrfs: volumes.c:796: btrfs_alloc_chunk: Assertion `!(ret)' failed.
Aborted
because the length of dev_extent is 4MB.
But if we use mkfs.btrfs with 8MB total bytes, the newly mounted btrfs filesystem
would not contain even one empty file. So 12MB will be good min value for block_count.
