Instead of modifying generic/224, maybe it would be better to have a
way to specify a minimum file system size on a per-file system basis.
That way, if some file system does have a minimum size of say, 1G or
4G, it can be configured in one place, instead of needing to modify
every test that uses a small file system size, or forcing all file
systems to use a larger file systems just for the benefit of a single
file system?

Or maybe just fix mkfs.btrfs?
