/* Check features of the backing filesystem:
* - Directories must support looking up and directory creation
* - We use xattrs to store metadata
* - We need to be able to query the amount of space available
* - We want to be able to sync the filesystem when stopping the cache
* - We use DIO to/from pages, so the blocksize mustn't be too big.
