Just had my machine lock up after CPU Fan failure.  Anyway, after repairs, a
reboot (and subsequent vgscan's) gives the following response:

[root@Voyager /root]# vgscan -v

How screwed am I?

I've got reiserfs on the LV's, so recovering the data from the LV's should
not be too big an issue.  What I need to know is how to rebuild the VG.
