fsck 1.40.11 (17-June-2008)
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda3

/dev/sda3:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

/dev/sda2: clean, 385/9666624 files, 3825191/19537040 blocks

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at [WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in e2fsprogs as that is the source of fsck.ext3.

blkid shows sda3 and sda2 but with the same UUIDs as sdc1 and sdc3.

Adtionally:

# fdisk /dev/sda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 9729.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

This bug is fixed in e2fsprogs 1.41; you can work around it for now by clearing out /etc/blkid.tab via "cp /dev/null /etc/blkid.tab".

    (Closes: #487443)
  * Update/clarified man pages. (Closes: #393313)

e2fsprogs (1.41~WIP-2008-06-17-1) experimental; urgency=low

This bug was fixed in the package e2fsprogs - 1.41.0-3ubuntu1

---------------
e2fsprogs (1.41.0-3ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

* Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #254152, #246461), remaining changes:
    - Do not build-depend on dietlibc-dev, which is in universe.

e2fsprogs (1.41.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium

* Fix mips-specific FTBFS problem in debian/rules file
  * Synchronize section and priority levels in control file with the
    FTP masters' override file.

e2fsprogs (1.41.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

* Don't try to check the group descriptor checksum if the GDT_CSUM
    feature is not present.  (Closes: #490637)
  * Add a new blkid -L option which pretty-prints the currently
    available block devices.  (Closes: #490527)

e2fsprogs (1.41.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

* New upstream version
  * Make e2fsck detect corrupted block group descriptors that would
    cause it to relocate inode tables, causing more damage to the
    filesystem, and make it try the backup superblock/block group
    descriptors first.
  * Fix resize2fs to clean up the resize_inode if all of the reserved
    gdt blocks are consumed during an off-line resize.
  * Enable huge_file, dir_nlink, extra_isize feautres for mke2fs and tune2fs.
  * Enable huge_file, dir_nlink, extra_isize, and uninit_bg by default
    in mke2fs.conf.
  * Fix badblocks terminology in man page and program output.
    (Closes: #440983, #440981)
  * Clarify stripe-width and stride-size in mke2fs man page.  (Closes: #487849)
  * mke2fs: Dumb down filesystems for GNU Hurd (Closes: #471977)
  * Add bash-static to the list of shells recommended for e2fsck-static
    (Closes: #490003)
  * mke2fs: Fix flex_bg metadata default layout to avoid a hole between
    the bitmaps and inode tables.

e2fsprogs (1.41~WIP-2008-07-07-1) experimental; urgency=low

* New upstream version (pre-release for e2sprogs 1.41)
  * Update to indicate compliance with debian policy version 3.8.0.0.
  * Fix e2fsck to not truncate valid extent files that are larger than
    what is supported by indirect files.
  * Add -dbg packages which contain the debugging information.
  * mke2fs: Print a better error message when a device is too big.
    (Closes: #488663)
  * Create external journal devices with a default blocksize of 4k
  * Fix bug in badblocks which caused crash when lots of -t patterns are
    given.  (Closes: #487298)
  * Fix blkid handling of stale entries.  (Closes: #487758, #487783)
  * Update Vietnamese, Polish, French, Spanish, German, Catalan,
    Dutch, Czech translations from the translation project.
  * Fix FTBFS problem on MIPS (Closes: #487675)
  * Fix bug in libuuid1.postinst which would cause it to blow up if
    there were spaces around the equals sign in /etc/adduser.conf.
    (Closes: #487443)
  * Update/clarified man pages.  (Closes: #393313)

e2fsprogs (1.41~WIP-2008-06-17-1) experimental; urgency=low

* New upstream version (pre-release for e2fsprogs 1.41)
  * New options to badblocks allow it to limit how quickly it reads
    from disk (for background scrubbing) and abort after a finding
    giving a number of errors.
  * Add support for ext4 filesystem features.  (Closes: #388452, #425477)
  * Tune2fs can migrate a filesystem from using 128 byte inodes to
    larger inode sizes so the user can take full advantage of ext4)
  * E2fsck and mke2fs can optionally record an undo log which can be
    replayed by the e2undo program.
  * E2fsck will display a less cryptic message when the last check field
    in the superblock is in the future.  (Closes: #446005)
  * Improve blkid probes for LVM volumes and swap partitions
  * Mke2fs has a much more sophisticated system for controlling the
    parameters of newly created filesystems.  The -t option now is used
    to specify the filesystem type.  See the mke2fs and mke2fs.conf man
    pages for more details.
  * Resize2fs will now print the minimum needed filesystem size if given
    the -P option, and will resize the filesystem to the smallest possible
    size if given the -M option.
  * E2fsck now performs more extensive and careful checks of extended
    attributes stored in the inode.
  * Mke2fs will always make sure that lost+found always has at least 2
    blocks, even for filesystems with very large blocksizes (i.e., 64kb).
  * The debugfs "ls" command now supports the -p option, which causes
    filenames to be printed surrounded by double quotes.
  * Fix a potential off-by-one buffer overflow in e2image
  * The chattr program will now return a non-zero exit code in case of
    failures.
  * This version of e2fsprogs removes support for legacy big-endian
    filesystems and for MASIX filesystems.
  * Add I/O statistics reporting to e2fsck.
