I'm trying to mount the main /dev/sda1 volumen from an EC2 instance, to a new one, but I have these issues:
$ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/xvdg /mnt/xvdg/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/xvdg,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
info from dmesg:
$ dmesg | tail

I also followed these steps to Repair a broken Ext4 Superblock. But it doesn't work.
The disk is partitioned, use this instead:
$ sudo mount /dev/xvdg1 /mnt/xvdg/
