Okay. > Now, after doing a pvcreate and a vgcfgrestore ... Should not be necessary if the data on two drives was okay? You did leave the dd-overwritten drive out as missing, right? Do you have the correct disk order and chunk size and offset? You have to be 140% sure the RAID itself is running correctly, otherwise all other steps are bound to fail. If you run photorec on the RAID and it manages to recover a file that is larger than number of drives * chunk size and intact, you can have some confidence the RAID is okay in terms of disk order and chunk size - the offset may still be off by multiple of stripe alignment but if the offset is correct too, file -s /dev/md0 should say LVM PV in your case.
