Mount an existing partition without formatting

Unix & Linux Asked by Unviray on September 22, 2020

I’ve installed Arch Linux on /dev/sda2 and it is marked as boot.
But I have all my old files and documents in /dev/sda1 that is not accessible.

When I run sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt, there is an error:

mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

How to recover all my old files?

Output of fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 298.09 GiB, 320072933376 bytes, 625142448 sectors
Disk model: HGST HTS545032A7

Partition table entries are not in disk order.

/dev/sda3 is a swap

/dev/sda1: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=c5c99a23-3374-4e5f-acf0-8ecd014e26cd (extents) (64bit) (large files) (huge files)

Output of e2fsck -f -n /dev/sda1

e2fsck 1.45.6 (20-Mar-2020)
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 78142464 blocks
The physical size of the device is 66872934 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
