Super Block
-----------
The superblock records various information about the enclosing
filesystem, such as block counts, inode counts, supported features,
maintenance information, and more.
If the sparse\_super feature flag is set, redundant copies of the
superblock and group descriptors are kept only in the groups whose group
number is either 0 or a power of 3, 5, or 7. If the flag is not set,
redundant copies are kept in all groups.
The superblock checksum is calculated against the superblock structure,
which includes the FS UUID.
The ext4 superblock is laid out as follows in
``struct ext4_super_block``:

Note: the difference between the compatible feature set and the
incompatible feature set is that if there is a bit set in the
incompatible feature set that the kernel doesn't know about, it should
refuse to mount the filesystem.
e2fsck's requirements are more strict; if it doesn't know
about a feature in either the compatible or incompatible feature set, it
must abort and not try to meddle with things it doesn't understand...
