Because trying to mount it as ext3 resulted in the same error. Fedora 
10 did not even try to replay the journal.

Thanks for the link. I dd'd a copy of the drive in question. That 
copy too works in the old machine that's running RedHat 7.2 - no 
errors. I'll put that copy on the Fedora 10 box and try running fsck 
on it as your link suggests, but I am skeptical at the moment. I'll 
keep you informed. FYI, trying to mount it read-only, as is, on the 
Fedora 10 box did not work either.

Joe.
