Well, here is a long shot, but I don't think it will work on a logical volume, try:
Code:
mkfs.ext2 -n /dev/sda2
Quote:
-n causes mke2fs to not actually create a filesystem, but display what it would do if it were to create a filesystem. This can be used to determine the location of the backup superblocks for a particular filesystem, so long as the mke2fs parameters that were passed when the filesystem was originally created are used again. (With the -n option added, of course!)
Of course, if we are lucky, you might recover with:
Code:
e2fsck -b backup_superblock /dev/sda2
... anyway, I don't think this will work on a logical volume, unfortunately.....
