Public bug reported:
I use a toshiba Tecra S2 laptop with gutsy i386 and a Desktop (IBM
Thinkcentre) with Gutsy AMD64. I use a 80gb usb laptop hard disk which
has ext3 fs to copy my backups to the desktop. After the weekend
updates my hdd would not mount on my laptop. dmesg says unknown fs type.
Gparted shows it as ext3, but when I check for errors it says that it
cannot be mounted as it is ntfs-3g.
If I remove the partitions and format it again, it works well after
checking the disk with e2fsck on the laptop or desktop. But when I
connect it to the other machine it wont auto mount. If I run gparted I
get the error saying that "the volume uses ntfs-3g which is not
supported by my system" - but in the graphical display still shows it as
ext3.
I got an error a couple of times saying that the superblock might be
corrupted and I should run e2fsck with an alternate superblock, but that
doesnt work either.
