When you type "mount /dev/sda2 /somewhere" (where "somewhere" is some existing, handy mount point) you get an error message saying that the file system isn't recognized or can't be determined? If you type "mount -t ext4 /dev/sda2 /somewhere" you get an error message, e.g., "not an ext4 filesystem?" What I would try next is running "e2fsck -n /dev/sda2" and see what that says. The "-n" to insure nothing is written to the disk (just in case). Try it and post the results to the list here. The partition superblock may be corrupted and I have no idea what e2fsck will try to do if that's the case. It may just give up without looking at the backup superblock. -- Mark C.
