There are several problems in algorithms which calculate size of host local 
disk space consumed by a volume-backed instance [1]. Obviously the 
volume-backed instance does not use the host local disk for the root volume. 
But these algorithms use root_gb, min_size, size which are not 0 for 
volume-backed instance. This leads to the problems.

Some solutions have been proposed to solve these problems [2]. One problem was 
even discussed here [3]. However all these solutions are aimed at correcting 
specific algorithms to allow them to take into account a type of an instance. 
But this does not affect other algorithms, which also use root_gb as local 
space size [4]. I.e. other similar problems are retained.

I propose to fix all of this by setting 0 for root_gb, min_size, size [5], 
since 0 is a natural value of these attributes.
Any objections?
