I was also troubled by the 'endless' stream of asterisks.
Perhaps some sort of heuristic - like disk size(s) divided by 'average'
file size. Also don't know the value of one asterisk - is it 100 files?
A few more experiments would give something that would be +- 30% This
would be better than nothing.

"df -i" gives a summary of used inodes that corresponds to the number of
files in my ext4 /boot and /home file systems very closely. The root
file system inum count is about 14,000 more than
find / -mount | wc -l
But perhaps this could provide a good base number.
