ext3 mounting as ext2

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Hello,
Did you check your /etc/fstab file? The system will in fact allow you to
mount an ext3 file system as an ext2 file system minus the journaling
capabilities. You should look at /etc/fstab and make sure that the system
is being instructed to mount those files systems as ext3.
