How big is the superblock?  Was only the superblock damaged by "fixing"
the partition table with fdisk?  One could just rename fdisk on machines
directly attached to the storage to prevent accidental damage. (very cheesy)

The reason that I'm asking these questions is that LVM does not seem to
work well with resizing of the physical disks -- you need to create a
new physical volume and then add that in.
