So I have a broken disk (with root on LVM) and lost the block(s) 
containing the LVM partition info. I have moved the entire disk to a 
backup (dd_rescue) but can not find the LVM partition with any tools I 
tried (gpart, testdisk). Am I f.cked or can I still get some data of 
these lost partitions (3 ext2/3 partitions on that LVM VG) ?
