You've explicitly set the filesystem type to ext3 in your
fstab.   You'll see the same error as on boot if you try
the command "mount /traces".

When you give the command "mount /dev/hdb1 /traces"
the fstab is not consulted.  Instead, mount tries to detect the
proper filesystem.  You can change your fstab to the proper
filesystem type or to the value "auto".  To test that the change
is working properly before reboot use "mount /traces".
