Well, I might be somewhere now but I might have also screwed up all my data on
the device. I fixed the initial problem and ended up having to basically
start fron scratch to create the LV again. I didnt format anything, the only
thing I did havnt to do with a filesystem was to do resize_reiserfs
-f /dev/4474/storage. All went fine except when I try to mount the device.
mount /dev/4474/storage (setup in my fstab)
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/4474/storage,
or too many mounted file systems
:( Dont know where to go from here
