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

$ sudo fsck -f /dev/sda1
[Ctrl+C]
*error is reported
!error should not be reported(?)

OBSERVATIONS

Seen on both lucid and maverick in virtualbox, and confirmed by Benjamin Kay on lucid non-virtual ( https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/mountall/+bug/577331/comments/21 )

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