In bug #1220728 the minimal size of an XFS file system has been raised from 40
to 300 MB. Libstorage has been changed by
https://github.com/openSUSE/libstorage-ng/pull/990

As it shows now, it's not just simple like that. Creating a 300 MiB partition
with XFS is possible, but if that partition is encrypted, there is only 284 MiB
left for the file system. And then mkfs.xfs still complains. And even if it was
slightly bigger, it would not have enough space basically for anything.

These minimal sizes are not visible to the user or the Installer (?). I will
report another bug for the Installer (Agama) to use mounted file systems for
checking the free space - if the system actually fits, but it will need to
report the real free space - i.e., size without metadata/log/...

I've used 500 MiB partitions. They run out of space pretty quickly. I'm afraid
we might need have some better checks closer to the reality.
