Need Help with LVM and ReiserFS
 

Alright, I've been having troubles with my LVM. I have 6 hard drives of varying sizes, all IDE, which used to be running on SuSE 9.2 Pro. The volume group is called VG_Storage and the logical volume is called LV_Storage. Everything was working fine, then I decided to load SuSE 9.3 Pro. I used vgexport then shutdown the system. After installing SuSE 9.3 Pro, I used pvscan to display the LVM but for some reason it lost 4 UUIDs out of the 6. I figured out how to restore the UUIDs and after that the LVM was displayed to me properly. The next problem happened when I tried to activate and mount the LVM. There was device called /dev/VG_Storage/LV_Storage to mount, which was what the LV was pointing to. There was only /dev/VG_Storage-LV_Storage which couldn't be mounted. So I reinstalled SuSE figuring it had something to do with not having the UUIDs. Once the install finished, I was able to scan for the LVM, and the device was created properly. Now my big problem is I can't mount the LVM because reiserfs is saying there is no filesystem. I need to get my data back, is there any way to restore the filesystem? I haven't overwritten anything so the files should still be there, the mount command keeps saying can't read superblock. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is more information about the errors and my system.

Thanks, Justin.
