Can you give me a dumpe2fs -h of a file system that is causing
num_clusters_in_group() to be bogus?

I want to make sure I'm checking that correct base values, insteda of
doing a brute force loop over all of the block groups and calling
ext4_num_clusters_in_group() and ext4_num_base_meta_clusters() for all
block groups.

Thanks!!
