Takes up a bit of screen real-estate...  OTOH, it's useful information.
Also, free space would also be useful.

That said, it looks like something extra is going to fit...

use part->geom.length!

Anyway, I don't really care.  Up to The Users TM to decide!  Send in
your votes!

(a) length only
(b) length and % used  (might spill some lines, with, say, "lba, boot",
remember we have translations to worry about...)
(c) % used only
(d) MB used only
(e) something else?

BTW, in pt_BR, Eliphas (oi!) translated "Filesystem" as "Sistema de
Arquivos", which is a bit long (System of files).  Would "Sistema"
suffice?  Or "Sistema/Arqs"?

fr has "Système de fichier plein!"
