After a fsck under linux, problem solved. I can now mount this
partition without any problem ...

We have an other amd64 machine running RedHat and NetBSD. All linux
partitions mounted fine under NetBSD ...

But the linux crashed yesterday ... Reboot under linux, all EXT3
partitions seems fine. Reboot under NetBSD, which can't mount one
partition `/dev/sd1g' (linux root) and told me to make a fsck
manually. I tried it, but it crashed :

root@calimero [~]# fsck_ext2fs /dev/rsd1g
** /dev/rsd1g
BAD SUPER BLOCK: INCOMPATIBLE FEATURE BITS IN SUPER BLOCK
zsh: floating point exception (core dumped)  fsck_ext2fs /dev/rsd1g

I can understand that NetBSD cannot repair EXT3 filesystems. But i
wanted to report the fsck_ext2fs program crash.
