Ok, I had to post this, I just recovered my 800Gb LVM array of 5 disks.

I had shot my self in the foot about 6 months ago, when I wrote a partition
table to one of my LVM disks.
Thus my whole 800Gb LVM was toast, really only needed access to 450Gb since
at least 300GB was test VM that are not important.
So having some vacation time to work on the home server I was able to rescue
it via these instructions:

Thus save a copy of that if you have any LVM volumes since it's the best
recovery instructions I found.
BTW I really do not like Oracle, so maybe someone could "wright that up"
with other LVM instructions and publish a eBook on it?

PS hoping everyone is having as good a break/vacation as I ! ;-)
