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.

If you have huge file systems with all the same file type on them. it
is probably better to just mount the drive with a label.
Then autorelabel will ignore the file system. No reason to put labels
on a huge file system all with the same label.
man setfiles
...
-p show progress by printing * every 1000 files.
