That looks strange...
If you want to access that partition within the vserver, you should probably
add a line like this
/dev/hda2 /backup ext3 defaults 0 0
to the "/etc/vserver/gserver1/fstab" config file (on the host).
When you start the vserver, the mount will be taken care of automatically.
Best,
