 Description   

According to patch description
libext2fs: automatically enable meta_bg to avoid filling up BG 0

    If during formatting we'd lose more than 75% a block group to group
    descriptors and other metadata, enable the meta_bg feature.  This
    enables us to create >500T filesystems with default options.
