I believe ext3 volumes can be mounted as ext2 volumes if the ext3 driver is
not available, but it may be (and sounds like _is_) that once the
journaling flag has been set (only difference between the two) a different
driver is used. Conversely, if only the ext3 driver were present and it
found no journaling flag on the volume, I can see why it would hiccup.
