Normally filesystems like ext4 put data all around the disk (i.e. the
used-block bitmap). However, if you use a log filesystem (like F2FS),
then all the data is at the beginning of the disk. In that case, it is
fairly easy to end up with a 4GiB or greater "don't care" chunk taking
up most of the disk.
