I'm gonna guess you meant you ran e2fsck. If you really ran mke2fs, the fs probably not recoverable, if additionally you mounted it, I don't see how it's recoverable (mounting causes inode initialization which will write over large areas of the volume, due to the resize, it will be writing on top of both data and old metadata - the whole thing will be a mess). Anyway, I think this is a case for debugfs, but you're probably best off asking about serious ext4 related problems on the ext4 list. The more you keep making modifications without actually knowing what you're doing, the greater the chance of total data loss. > > > Now, I know data is there and I need to recover it. > > I found a recovery point from 2014 in /etc/ LVM/archive.

You hadn't yet resized the LV, and in any case that's not the problem if you can mount home successfully and it's just empty.
