I've been either trying to recover unmounted; or mounting readonly, yes. Not much success in finding a recovery distro with ext4magic, maybe there'll be other tools in them. I believe the thousands of multiply-claimed blocks fsck complains about may be responsible for the awkward results photorec is producing: hundreds of 1KB text files, which are mostly bits of whole files, some incremental. Either that of LVM's PEs, i'm no expert. And i believe what caused this was abusing the filesystem. The vm which mounted the partition was set do destroy on host shutdown. The partition wasn't marked for checking by fsck on boot and all dmesg does is produce warnings, nothing that would stop the boot process. I didn't re/boot the host that often but i did a few times - more than enough to corrupt the filesystem over and over again (although that would mostly "just" affect the FAT and not the files themselves?). So i guess i should be happy with whichever crums photorec produces.
