localhost hejustrife # mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 /media/1 -o force
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
       missing codepage or other error
       (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
       instead of some logical partition inside?)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
