    Possibly the thing I'm looking for is /sys/class/bdi/*/max_ratio - see unix.stackexchange.com/a/338317/20336 for more info. Commented May 17, 2017 at 10:39
  • The bdi interface requires major:minor info. It can be figured out with findmnt and lsblk. Note that in case of RAID, one mount point can be backed by multiple devices. Commented May 17, 2017 at 11:13
