For example, on a device using the default interleave_sectors of 32768, a block_size of 512, and an internal_hash of crc32c with a tag size of 4 bytes, it will take 128 KiB of tags to track a full data area, requiring 256 sectors of metadata per data area. With the default buffer_sectors of 128, that means there will be 2 buffers per metadata area, or 2 buffers per 16 MiB of data.
