Not sure what exactly happened on this server but it looks like the LUNS
were pulled w/o removing the volumes correctly or something of that
sort.

If you've got processes in D waiting on those volumes I think you might
be hosed beyond recovery without reboot.
Having said that, you could try bumping up /proc/sys/fs/file-max to something
insanely high and then cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
After that, I could only make wild guesses as to what needs to happen next.

Looks like you managed to hit fs.filemax actually. What is the output of
"sysctl fs.file-max fs.file-nr"?
