* Max values for extnum and aextnum.
+ *
+ * The original on-disk extent counts were held in signed fields, resulting in
+ * maximum extent counts of 2^31 and 2^15 for the data and attr forks
+ * respectively. Similarly the maximum extent length is limited to 2^21 blocks
+ * by the 21-bit wide blockcount field of a BMBT extent record.
+ *
+ * The newly introduced data fork extent counter can hold a 64-bit value,
+ * however the maximum number of extents in a file is also limited to 2^54
+ * extents by the 54-bit wide startoff field of a BMBT extent record.
+ *
+ * It is further limited by the maximum supported file size of 2^63
+ * *bytes*. This leads to a maximum extent count for maximally sized filesystem
+ * blocks (64kB) of:
+ *
+ * 2^63 bytes / 2^16 bytes per block = 2^47 blocks
+ *
+ * Rounding up 47 to the nearest multiple of bits-per-byte results in 48. Hence
+ * 2^48 was chosen as the maximum data fork extent count.
