XFS: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock

0

My AWS Linux 2 instance boot drive is snapshotted daily. I'd like to mount one of the snapshots to my instance to review changes I've made in /etc. I created a volume based on the snapshot, attached to my instance and tried to mount it. I used df -T to determine my existing boot drive filesystem is xfs. I presume my snapshot is xfs. I can't seem to mount it. I tried with several of the snapshots. Am I trying to do something weird, adding a second bootable drive to my instance?

mount /dev/xvdi1 /mnt/tmp mount /dev/xvdi1 /mnt/tmp -t xfs mount -t xfs /dev/xvdi1 /mnt/tmp

mount: /mnt/tmp: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/xvdi1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

from fdisk -l: Disk /dev/xvdi: 16 GiB, 17179869184 bytes, 33554432 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: EB7656A9-A5D7-4AAF-B8A8-67A3FBEC56BA

Hi there ,I understand that you would like to mount the volume that you created and now you are unable to mount it.Correct me if I misunderstood.

Based on the tests that I ran you will need to : [1]create a snapshot [2]attach it to a volume [3]Stop the instance that you want to mount the volume to [4]attach the volume of the snapshot to your rescue instance [5]SSH into the rescue instance [6]Run this command < lsblk -f > to check the name of the disk you want to mount [7]run the following command to mount [7.1] mount -o nouuid /dev/<diskname> /data

I have provided you with additional documentation under the reference section.

I hope this was helpful!

    @root : mount -o nouuid /dev/xvdbb /mnt/new "mount: /mnt/new: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/xvdbb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call." I have created an ec2@ubuntu and i have uploaded some files and the ec2 instance stopped working hence i took snapshot and created new volume with it, i have created another instance and trying to mount the snapshot volume to the new instance. please help me..!

You might have found your way around. Just in case someone stumbles upon the same issue: Try running mount -o nouuid /dev/xvdi1 /mnt/tmp r. Just in case someone stumbles upon same issue:
