You will want to run fsck on this partition separately.  You've already
been able to get it to mount if I recall.  It used to be /boot so it
might not be of interest to you.  Easily rebuilt.

The easy one first - Based on the name "lv_swap" don't bother with that
one.  It will contain paged out virtual memory pages in a format that is
not useful once the system has shut down.

For "lv_root" do you remember it's format.  I'm in th emiddle of similar
conversations on group and off and I don't remember which one used ext3
and which one used ext4.  With the volume group still active so
"vgdisplay -v" shows its logical volumes and/or so lvs shows them as
above do -

fsck -t ext3 /dev/vg_XYZ/lv_root

or maybe

fsck -o full -t ext3 /dev/vg_XYZ/lv_root

It will tell you how much data is intact.  Might be all of it.  After
fsck runs clean (might take several passes) you should be able to mount
it by specifying its format -

mount -t ext3 /dev/vg_XYZ/lv_root /mnt/root

Then you'll be able to see files with names you expect and/or files
under /mnt/root/lost+found who names are based on the inode numbers. 
With a small number of files in lost+found it's practical to start
guessing.  With a large number not so much.
