Problems mounting ext3


Hi there.
I've recently changed from ubuntu to mandriva just to try the desktop out...
But I can't mount my ext3 partition. I know it is an ext3.
Here's the old line from fstab I've tried with:
Code:
/dev/sdb1     /media/Shared     ext3     rw,user,noauto     0     0
and yes I've the /media/Shared dir.
Then I tried to do it manually:
Code:
[root@suedox mariusz]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/ext3/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
and the dmesg | tail:
Code:
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb1.
The partition editor/configurator in mandrake says that it's hfsplus, but I've never been using this kind of fstype, and I know that last used fs was ext3. I've a lot of backup data there so I hope I can be able to mount it or recover the data...
