First, Looking at your fstab output either fdisk one, did you notice
that /dev/hdb3 is SWAP? So then, there's no ext3 there ;-)
By the way, you can find out any FS on any partition using for instance,
parted (there's a gui for it called qtparted).
Probably Gentoo uses ext3 by default.
Hope that helps.
