Hi all,
I have been able to recover all of the Logic Volume info for a LVM drive, but am getting a "Bad magic number" error for all of the Superblocks that I have tried when I try to do an e2fsck on the volume, which had an ext4 file system on it. I have tried a number of the alternative super blocks, but so far get the same error.
Any other possibilities for recovery?
Thanks
JD

Run TestDisk, Advanced, SuperBlock on the ext4 filesystem, post the testdisk.log file content and the e2fsck command you are using
