                  Enables  the file system to be larger   
   than 2^32 blocks. This feature is set automatically,   
   as needed, but it can be useful to specify this feature   
   explicitly if the file system might need  to  be  resized   
   larger than  2^32  blocks,  even if it was smaller than   
   that threshold when it was originally created.  Note   
   that some older kernels and older versions of e2fsprogs   
   will not support file systems with  this  ext4  feature   
   enabled.   
      
      
   Doesn't explain the implications.
