[linux-lvm] can data be found after cleaning the first sector by mistake? (tears in my eyes)

[Ming Zhang <mingz ele uri edu>]

I have 2 disk sda and sdb, build a md0 on them, and create vg and lv on
top of md0.

when i upgraded my system from fedora 2 to 3, it reported my sda and sdb
contain uninitialized partition table and need to clean. i mad a stupid
error by pressing yes!

now no matter what command i execute, it reports.

[root localhost ~]# lvscan
  Logical volume (vol1) contains an incomplete mapping table.
  Volume group "datavg" not found
[root localhost ~]# pvscan -P
  Partial mode. Incomplete volume groups will be activated read-only.
  Logical volume (vol1) contains an incomplete mapping table.
  No matching physical volumes found
[root localhost ~]# vgmknodes
  Logical volume (vol1) contains an incomplete mapping table.
  Volume group "datavg" not found

i wonder if there is any way to get my personal data back. thanks so
much if anybody can give a hint!
