As it was defined could not work in other contexts (the current lone use works by chance, because multiplication is done first), where the division may yield an unexpected (but valid) zero result.
The total block count was once done automatically but it was lost on commit 457078c. The calculation is recovered, but made optional: it is only done if total blocks is not passed by cmdline. If passed, that value is used and not touched. Also, reserved_frac is taken into account on the automatic calculation.
Must take into account the reserved blocks.

Although tests pass flawlessly, it seems that there are some blocks that are not being counted in statistics, and thus there aren't enough blocks for some not-so-large folders. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm not fan of introducing floats just for this.
Could you please instead use something like
#define TO_RESERVED_BLOCKS(n) ((n) * 5 / 100)?
Leave the two constants as were defined originally. This reverts the changes made by commit bfc28c7.

Total block count was removed on commit 457078c without explanation. Bring it back with a change: instead of increasing the number of blocks specified by the user (like it used to do), we keep the current behavior of crying to the user.
