  User cancel of fsck gives: "fsck.ext4: Inode bitmap not loaded while
  setting block group checksum"

Status in e2fsprogs:
  Fix Released
Status in “e2fsprogs” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “e2fsprogs” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: e2fsprogs

  "Parents": Bug #571707 and Bug #577331

  PROBLEM

  Whenever fsck is cancelled by user, this error message is given:
  "fsck.ext4: Inode bitmap not loaded while setting block group checksum info"
  And the exit status of fsck is 8

  (This leads to plymouth/mountall reporting "Serious errors" on the
  filesystem in question when fsck is cancelled during boot, and acting
  accordingly.)

  TEST CASE
  1. Force a fsck at boot time
    $ sudo touch /forcefsck
  2. Reboot your system
  3. When the 'Checking filesystem' prompt is displayed press 'C' to cancel
  4. Finish the boot sequence
  5. Check the content of /var/log/boot.log

  VERIFICATION-DONE
  The boot.log contains
  -----
  fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
  User cancelled filesystem checks
  /dev/sda1: e2fsck canceled.
  mountall: fsck / [235] terminated with status 32
  -----

  Same error is seen when running from maintenance shell on boot, or
  liveCD.
