Well, unextracted system.tar at the very least, though that's might not be telling enough either because of all the file metadata and alignment filesystems keep compared to tar files, but we could at least warn when you get dangerously close. We could also align the partition size automatically up to the smallest multiple of say 32MB (or whatever makes sense).
