Being an amateur, I tried to mount the /dev/sda3 partition to a mount point after installing the latest LTS of Ubuntu Server
$ sudo mount /dev/sda3 /home/xxxx/bake-buddy
mount: /home/xxxx/bake-buddy: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'.
I found this article and tried to follow the answer steps there mount unknown filesystem type 'lvm2_member'
root@tez:/home/xxxx# lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/ubuntu/ubuntu-lv' [235.42 GiB] inherit
root@tez:/home/xxxx# mount /dev/ubuntu/ubuntu-lv /home/xxxx/bake-buddy
root@tez:/home/xxxx# < no error >
But when I view the /home/xxxx/bake-buddy directory, it's the same as the root directory contents, so I have something hoarked up. Can you tell from the below displays what I need to clean up...or should I just reinstall?
root@tez:/home/xxxx# vgdisplay

EDIT: Based on the first comment, followed https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/339011/how-do-i-mount-an-lvm-partition/339621#339621, ran the following steps:
sudo pvscan
PV /dev/sda3 VG ubuntu lvm2 [235.42 GiB / 0 free]
Total: 1 [235.42 GiB] / in use: 1 [235.42 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
sudo vgscan --mknodes
Found volume group "ubuntu" using metadata type lvm2
sudo vgchange -ay
1 logical volume(s) in volume group "ubuntu" now active
sudo lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/ubuntu/ubuntu-lv' [235.42 GiB] inherit
sudo mount /dev/ubuntu/ubuntu-lv /home/xxxx/bake-buddy
<no error>
did a list of the /home/xxxx/bake-buddy contents and it's the root directory listing, which is not what I want. Looking more and more like I should just reinstall
