Then change the entry in /etc/fstab to ext3 and remount.

Disks for PCs can hold a maximum of four "primary" partitions. If you
want more partitions, the last primary partition is designated "extended"
and is partitioned into additional "logical" partitions. These appear
just like any other partitions to the OS. It looks as though the entire
array here is treated as a single disk from the partition perspective.
