RAID1 or LVM quesiton



We have a power failure here last week and one of my systems failed to
come up with serious fsck issue on the boot drive:
I've got 3 SATA drives, 1 160GB boot and OS only
2 2TB drives configured as either and LVM or possibly as a RAID1.  In
any case I resinstalled RHEL 5.3 and now I need to recover the volume
group and logical volumes. I tried vgchange, vgscan and pvscan with no
results.  I may have used either LVM with mirroring or RAID1. I just
want to make sure I don't damage any data on the drives. The partitions=20
on both /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc are Linux LVM (8e).
I just don't want to do anything destructive at this point.
