It happened to me once when I mistyped the disk name (hda5 instead of hdb5). That was several years ago so I don't remember whether it was ext3 or ext2.
Just wanted to add that you might want to use dd to make a complete copy of your disk and work on a copy (or a copy of the copy if you are sufficiently paranoid about your data)
