I'm a little late to the thread here because of the boondoggle that is
the RTP, NC area the last couple of days, but here is my $0.02.

I learned a long time ago that recovering anything from an LVM volume
is more trouble that it's worth.  I have lost more data on LVM volumes
than I have any other filesystem.  Unless you use RAID with LVM never
use it on a personal workstation/desktop.

In fact, I'm in the process of scrapping the LVM volume based virtual
machines at my office simply because they are LVM based.

I'm sure I'll be flamed for it, but the tools to recover LVM data is
humorous at best, and catastrophic at worst.
