Help me mount a file
So I have an ext4 file that was mounted on loopback but after a reboot stopped working.
Cloudflare blocks me from posting the terminal output, so I have pasted it here: http://pastebin.com/raw/mYNB2eX3
Any idea how I could successfully mount the file? Help will be immensely appreciated.

You don't really need to losetup to mount it, you can just mount -oloop ./data /mnt
But it seems your file(system) is damaged. You can try e2fsck -f -v /dev/loop7
@rds100 Thanks!
Journal inode is not in use, but contains data. Clear<y>?<-- is this a yes?@deadbeef do you have 27GB free space there? If yes, first make a copy of the file, then proceed with the fsck.
@rds100 I proceeded with the fsck, I am now getting a different error: http://pastebin.com/raw/GysCrZ6Z
Btw, does that fsck output mean that there are no files in the block or I am misreading it?
When the fsck finishes with "file system was modified" it's a good idea to run fsck once more.
Update: mounting it as ext4 with no flags works, so I guess I did lose all the files
The irony is that this was in a replicated Azure disk. Lesson learned.
Thank you vey much @rds100 for your help!
