See the source code for tune2fs, which sets the parameters for extN file systems. The most noteworthy point is that the settings are saved *on the filesystem*, so that it can be mounted and handled correctly from the start, without waiting for further configuration (consider - what happens if the "default number of blocks per extent" is 8, and you try to read the first 9 blocks of an extent written when the setting was a non-default 16, before you've configured the setting)
