Neil,
  Do you have a suggestion on how best to handle this?
  bug 926160 has some data on what we're wasting in overhead on smaller (2G size), and that is non-trivial.

  The source here is probably 1408M, rather than 1G. Ben and I had estimated that for the images on cloud-images.ubuntu.com that FS could grow to ~ 1T, but your data shos that is different. How reasonable do you tihnk it is that people are going to have/*need* 768G root filesystem ? Offset that by the cost of wasted metadata space on smaller roots.

  Thoughts?
