rebuilding LV ext4 filesystem
Thx. That's one try.
BTW: what is a .milk file? There were several of these I found under several layers under lost+found.

Okay, I finally got to do what Stuart D. Gathman suggested. And it worked, sort of.
NOW: I am left with a clean ext filesystem, but with about 300GB in lost+found, and not other files. Just guessing on that amount, since that is how much was on the LV before the crash. So the next logical and obvious (and desperate) question is: how to I restore all (or any) of the files under lost+found?

Most of them (that I am interested in)were either image files (jpg, png, bmp), ISO images (DVD, CD), music files (mp3, flac, etc), and a few MS executables. Is there a utiliity that can help restore these files, maybe scan the lost+found files for these types?
Not a lot of help, probably, but the "file" command should at least give you some idea of what type of files they are.

MilkDrops? I didn't even have WinAmp installed. Maybe it, or some of its plugins were installed by other a/v apps. I am guessing that I can ignore them. But the funny thing is: these were the only files with any given extension under lost+found after I fixed my LV filesystem.

I suspect it has to do with information about partially recovered files or directories. I wouldn't throw them out just yet. Perhaps a google on e2fsck and .milk ?
