Subject:  Recover damaged ext4 volume

Hi,

It was a LVM lv formated to ext4 that can't mount anymore after
resize. Both e2fsck and dumpe2fs can not find valid superblock or backup
superblock.

However, I can still read and recognize some data from the volume using
hd. Is there any chance that I can get my files back?

Following is the output of findsuper, lines with wrong mount time are
stripped:

byte_offset  byte_start     byte_end  fs_blocks blksz  grp  last_mount_time     sb_uuid label
