My server (CentOS 6) crashed, and it now kernel panics on boot. It's currently using a mdadm RAID1 array with two 1TB drives.
vg_server2422-LogVol01is /vg_server2422-LogVol00is Swapvg_server2422-LogVol02is the partition with all my data.
I have booted into a CentOS 6.3 LiveCD via. the Virtual Media, and I have run lvscan, which returns the volumes as active.
fsck says:
The filesystem size (according to the superblock is 232603648 blocks
The physical size of the device is 214958080 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
If I don't abort it for LogVol02:
/dev/mapper/vg_server2422-LogVol02 contains a file system with errors, check forced.

Trying to mount after that throws the same error (wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock). I've tried all of the SuperBlock backups with fsck, they all do not work.
Any ideas?
I followed one of the suggestions at Recovering ext4 superblocks and ran mke2fs -S -b 4096, then fsck, however after a while fsck just crashed with "Segmentation Fault".
