Cause:
fsck.ext2 deleted the journaling inode, essentially making it an ext2 fs.

Solution:
Either use tune2fs -j device to add the journal node again, or use [c]fdisk to set the partition type to ext2 instead of ext3.

Reason:
tune2fs -j will fix the fs back to ext3 journaling mode, cfdisk will have the system use it as unjournaled ext2.
