I am getting a error mount(2) system call failed:Structure needs cleaning while mounting a partition, would any of the methods lead to file loss?

"Structure needs cleaning" error - cannot mount partition

Here is a question which has already been answered, I am asking this question because that partition has some files which I didn't get enough time to backup, would I be able to recover the files using theses methods?

This fixed the issue for me

sudo fsck.ext4 -y /dev/sdaX

Here "X" should be replaced with the number of the partition you are trying to fix and there was no file loss for me (note -y is there because I am too lazy to type yes everytime it asked)
