yesterday when I started my computer, my Linux Mint 17.3 system refused to boot up,
spilling out the following errors:
Code: Select all

be affected, though. The system is dual boot with Win7 and there seems to be no problem with the Windows partitions whatsoever.
I've used the opportunity to migrate to Mint 18.2 on a new disk, but I am wondering if there's any way to look into the damaged partition
any further, and maybe recover some of the data on that LVM partition? I have most of the data on backup, but if there's anything I can
do, to check the drive and recover data, before tossing it away I would be grateful for hints. Thanks in advance.
