    $ ls /lib/modules/<kernel>/kernel/fs/ext3.o

...if it's modular, else:

    $ grep ext3 /proc/filesystems

...if it's built-in (or the module's already loaded).

Yep.

Or:

    <dev> <mountpoint> ext3,ext2  <options> <dump> <pass>

...where the "ext3,ext2" will allow mounting as either option, in that
order.  You can mount your partitions under an old kernel, needs be.

Peace.
