I believe that there is a rough estimation over 'rados df'. Per-image
statistics would be awesome, though precise stats will be neither rough
too(# of rbd object clones per volume) or introduce new counter
mechanism. Dealing with discard for the filestore, it looks even more
difficult to calculate right estimation, as with XFS preallocation feature.
