14 apologies for multiple posting, I didn't actually address your primary
15 concern, just skipped over it and went to what caused the problem. ext3 is an
16 addition to ext2. ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2, you can overlook
17 what fsck says, don't take it literally, it is just saying it can't find an
18 ext* filesystem at all regardless of which version of ext* it tries.
