In other words: since you did that already, it is as good as it gets as far as
LVM is concerned. Now contact your filesystem guru(s). :-)
I am not an expert on that, but if the filesystem is reiserfs, perhaps the -S
switch of reiserfsck helps? But before you try, better make a backup of the
current status (something like dd if=/dev/your-vg/your-lv
of=/your-big-backuppath/bakfile).
good luck,
