 bitmaps for groups 0-3, inode tables for groups 0-3, and the remaining
 space in group 0 is for file data. The effect of this is to group the
 block group metadata close together for faster loading, and to enable
 large files to be continuous on disk. Backup copies of the superblock
 and group descriptors are always at the beginning of block groups, even

 filesystem size to 2^21 * 2^27 = 2^48bytes or 256TiB.
