I am adding a 2tb drive to my Samba install and prepared the disk as a ext3 partition. When trying to mount the disk in telnet I get the message "unknown filesystem type 'ext3'". My ext2 partitions are mounting without issue.
I am on a Belkin F7D7301 running 16454 mega and was having the same issue with 15506 mega.
I did a 30/30/30 and reflashed with 16454 big thinking maybe there was something wrong with my last flash. Still cannot mount ext3. When I do a dmesg I saw the following:

Sounds like I'm missing a dependency but I'm clueless as to what. I don't know what to do from here.
Can't you explicitly mount it as ext2? The only difference between ext2 and ext3 is the journal.
No... it's a feature.... :lol:
DD-WRT only loads the modules that are necessary for the first partition on the first storage.
Any other filesystem (cat /proc/filesystems) needs to be loaded manually first.
You could load OTRW. Its automount DOES load the necessary modules.
You could make the first partition ext3
Code:
insmod mbcache
insmod jbd
insmod ext3
