[Gllug] Ext3 volume seems to be swapspace

After some problems one of my partitions no longer mounts unless the 
filesystem type (ext3) is specified. If I don't specify it, mount complains 
that it "looks like swapspace".

Is this a symptom of a bigger problem? Perhaps the main superblock is 
missing - in which case, can I restore it from the backup ones?

Thanks again for your help,
Tom SW
