But I think what should be done is fixing e2fsprogs on RHEL7 not workarounding the bug in the test code. The test is doing nothing wrong, and it 'finds' a bug (test not run). This leads me to wonder if we should skip this test if debugfs hanppened to fail to set first_meta_bg? So that test would fail explicitly (mount succeeds unexpectedly) instead of _notrun and being ignored.
