if the sdb1 partition was ext3, then you should have run ext3.fsck --check on it. Only run the type of fsck that is appropriate to the FS type.

I use 'e2fsck' which should workon ext3 as well as ext2.

sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sdb1 should fix it for you.

sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sdb1The same command will work for ext2 or ext3, basically ext3 is ext2 file system with journalling added.

fsck is good too, but it will only run e2fsck for you with the general purpose options it considers safe. It doesn't have the ability to guess what specific e2fsck options we might need for a given situation, so it's not as powerful.

Regards., Herman :)
