In general I agree. But what do you do for network filesystems? Maybe we'll have a network filesystem protocol which allows to query the remote server about the underlying filesystem. Then the return value is dynamic and it's the maximum (coarsest granularity) of the network filesystem itself and the underlying filesystem.
