mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb2 /disk2a

Are you sure the filesystem is really ext3?

You didn't mention whether explicitly passing "-t ext3" with mount works. If it does not work with this option but works without this option, most likely your filesystem is not ext3 at all.

Just so you know, you can put in 'auto' in the FSType field and it'll try to figure it out (based on the filesystem drivers loaded in the kernel)
