My NAS went offline today. I could not even boot up. I have extracted the OS drive (Debian Bookworm) and plugged it into my laptop via an adapter. I failed mounting it, with the error: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'

I suspect the file system got corrupted somehow (we had a power outage few days ago) or the SSD is dying (less than 3 years old). I'd like to understand what is wrong, and fix it if possible. Below are the results of dmesg (just after plugging it in), lvdisplay, pvdisplay, mount, fdisk and lsblk.

I think there is a bad block I need to blacklist/replace but I am out of my depth when it comes to investigate hardware issues. Not sure what to make of the mount results (see below)

====== EDIT =====

Running fsck did not help (the device letter changed between reboots)

neela@hooban:~$ sudo fsck /dev/sdc
fsck from util-linux 2.34
e2fsck 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
 or
    e2fsck -b 32768 <device>

==== EDIT 2 =====

I have run fsck on the partition instead of the device, and found the following. Anyone knows a sensible answer to the options fsck offers ?

neela@hooban:~$ sudo fsck /dev/sdc1

    This looks ok. It's just a member of an LVM Volume group, not the free standing partitioned disk you think it should be! Are you sure you're looking at the operating system boot disk, or is that maybe on flash memory integrated in your NAS appliance, or simply on a different disk? Commented Mar 2, 2024 at 23:51

    No, the buffered IO errors in dmesg do not look OK, @sinabala Commented Mar 3, 2024 at 10:24
  • @juliethefoxcoon: this did not help, see the edit in the initial post Commented Mar 4, 2024 at 23:49
  • @sina bala: yes, this is definitively the OS disk. Grub has a small unencrypted partition, then the rest of / is encrypted on that disk (including /home, but it is barely used) Commented Mar 4, 2024 at 23:54
