EC2 Instance, mount volume DOS/MBR boot sector

Question

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
[  673.481965]  xvdg: xvdg1
[  673.589140]  xvdg: xvdg1

[  673.978105]  xvdg: xvdg1

More info:

I also followed these steps to Repair a broken Ext4 Superblock. But it doesn't work.

Answer 1

The disk is partitioned, use this instead:

$ sudo mount /dev/xvdg1 /mnt/xvdg/
