EXT3 is basically EXT2 with a journaling add on, so it seems likey that the same program could fsck them both.

You can even mount an ext3 as an ext2, which corrupts the journal but gives you access to the entire filesystem. To rebuild the journal, umount the filesystem and run "tune2fs -j /dev/foo".

If your drive is giving 0x51 Drive Unready messages, it's probably about to die.

Checking the S.M.A.R.T. on the drive is a good idea.

I don't have any of the relevant tools ... next time I get to a reasonable power-down spot, I'll reboot and see whether the BIOS looka like it has support for that, and see about downloading the SMART tools for Debian if it does.

That would be bad ... I was just given a stack of used drives to test, but none anywhere near the size of this one. Argh.
