If NFS needs this requirement, why do you require all filesystem meet this?

It will break test when using local filesystem ie xfs,ext4(as README 
says the minimum requiremount is 10G). I often use 20G as test device 
and scratch device.

Also, I think you should figure out why NFS 100% use space. Use a large
device size only hides a bug.
