| Oct 16, 2020 at 13:51 | comment | added | Siv | OK I managed to mount it - see main question. | |
| Oct 15, 2020 at 10:02 | comment | added | Siv | I already ran photorec and restored some key files, but I would still like to try and mount this drive. | |

If you created a new file system over LVM metadata, chances are that the only way you have to get your files back is using some data recovery tool. You may search through the existing questions tagged data-recovery on this site (and possibly on Super User) for advice, some of them are about lost file system or LVM superblocks. | |
| Oct 14, 2020 at 20:22 | comment | added | Siv | @fra-san I was not seeing much in the way of answers so am trying to resolve the issue myself as I need to get that data back and a day has passed and I would have thought someone would have known immediately what the fix would be in these hallowed Halls!? | |

Also, modifying LVM and file system metadata (as vgck possibly did and mke2fs surely does) makes recovering your files harder and harder. I'd strongly suggest avoiding any further destructive operation (anything that writes on the drive). | |
| Oct 13, 2020 at 22:02 | comment | added | Siv | Yes, I corrected it lower down it should have read /dev/mint-vg/root. | |

| Oct 13, 2020 at 21:57 | comment | added | fra-san | Welcome on U&L! Is /dev/min=vg/root in your mount command a typo? | |
