I have a serious problem.
Server crashed and not returned, disk problems.
I'm trying to mount `/dev/vg/root` partition
to access and remove the files but it's giving me a superblock error.
Until yesterday I was able to access it in read-only mode
using the command below.
```
mount -o ro,noload /dev/vg/root /mnt
```
But now not even this command works anymore because of the error.
I tried to recover the corrupted block without success.
The operating system know that all I need is access to the location -/dev/vg/root to remove our data.
Doing some checks at least the files are still allocated on the disk;
the problem is to access the location that is no longer visible for mounting.
```
mount /dev/vg/root /mnt
mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/vg-root, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
mount -o ro,noload /dev/vg/root /mnt
mount: /mnt: mount(2) system call failed: Stale file handle.
```
LVM used partition system
System where the server was installed: CentOS 6.9.
System I'm currently accessing in rescue mode.
```
Linux rescue 5.13.13 #1 SMP Thu Oct 28 09:11:58 UTC 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux
```
partition scheme (output from `lsblk`):
```

```
Tried solutions like recovering bad blocks
```
sudo mke2fs -n /dev/xx
Failed attempt to recover bad blocks
sudo e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/vg/root
```
Location I am trying to access,
which is where CentOS 6.9 is installed: `/dev/vg/root`
The backup data I need is in this location.
