However, don't trust me on this. It may or may not work. But:
-make sure that you know what drive and where it is. It sounds like it should be on your hda something but if you have it on another hard drive, then it would be different
-mount point is simply where you will see the files. Check that /media/ubuntu2 exist (if not, then make a ubuntu2 folder in /media)
-I took a guess that you were using an ext3 file system, but make sure it's not something else
-usually the option is just default, followed by errors-remount-ro 0 1.

That is a Logical Volume Management partition; you can't mount LVM partitions in the conventional way. LVM is just a container that contains other logical partitions.
Seeing as you're using Ubuntu you're more than likely using LVM. Try typing "lvdipslay" and see if it lists any separate partitions within the LVM partition. The output should list the partitions; they should be in the format of /dev/VolGroup/Vol0 or something similar. Post any output you get with "lvdisplay".
