But... 0xE0C6 is the group descriptor checksum.  Since we report the bitmap
csum after mentioning them:

>  Block bitmap at 2 (+2), csum 0xc759340d, Inode bitmap at 18 (+18), csum 0x941e2bba

It would make more sense to report the group checksum on the first line:

Group 0: (Blocks 0-32767) csum 0xe0c6 [ITABLE_ZEROED]                                     

Unless it'll break peoples' scripts?
