The recovered /etc/fstab mounts it as an ext3 filesystem: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/mapper/teramooch-root / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=20be44f0-4da3-439e-ae4e-cc4e08cc8e37 /boot ext2 relatime 0 2 UUID=B627-AFF0 /fat32 vfat utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 /dev/mapper/teramooch-home /home ext3 relatime 0 2 /dev/mapper/teramooch-opt /opt ext3 relatime 0 2 /dev/mapper/teramooch-srv /srv ext3 relatime,acl,user_xattr 0 2 /dev/mapper/teramooch-tmp /tmp ext3 relatime 0 2 /dev/mapper/teramooch-usr /usr ext3 relatime 0 2 /dev/mapper/teramooch-var /var ext3 relatime 0 2 /dev/mapper/teramooch-backupduffycapemay /srv/samba/mac_backups/duffycapemay ext3 relatime 0 2 UUID=7fb288ca-400a-415a-97b7-35ceccddeb0f none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 > It seems strange that this LV would be totally corrupted while the other > LV's are perfect, but that is another possibility (however unlikely).

For now, it sounds like your FS format is not > ext2/3/4 based. Maybe another one of the popular linux formats?
