Ok, it's ext3. So, if you try mount -t ext3 -o sb=16 /dev/dsa4 /mnt does it mount cleanly? If not try with 32 in place of 16. If it does, then your superblock is corrupt, and the best thing to do is to tar everything off it, reformat it using the -c option ( as reiserfs? ), and then tar it all back on. If you've got enough disk space! )A better explanation and answers to your questions can be found at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=230932&highlight=

Robert,
Do you mean /dev/sda..., rather that /devsda...
I take it that you're mounting either a scsi ior usb drive?
Have you tried fdisk -l /dev/sda, just to see what partitions are there, as a starting point. It could be that you have either a corrupt filesystem, or too many mounted partitions? If it's formatted as reiserfs, then the toolkit is very extensive. You may be mounting off a backup superblock ( tru mount -b 16 or -b 32 and see if they mount without error message ).
Can't think of any others at the moment,
