[linux-lvm] Failed volume resize through SuSE 9.1 YAST LVM module, need help recovering

I was using SuSE 9.1 LVM module in YAST to do some changes to my LVM2 setup.
I'm trying to get back to a state where I can access my data on either of
the previous LV's I had.
I started up with a LVM volume consisting of 6 physical drives and 2 logical
volumes. One logical volume consisted of 2 non-striped disks. The second
volume consisted of 3 disks with 3 stripes. I had just recently copied all
data from the one LV to the other so they both have the same data. I did
see that the 3 striped disks had no partition created and were just using
the whole disk. I then deleted the 3 stripe LV and removed the physical
volumes from the VG. Next I created the LVM partitions on the 3 disks and
added them back in to the VG. Next I did a resize from 500GB to 1TB to fill
the 6 physical volumes. The filesystem being expanded was resiserfs. At
this point when I hit apply in the SuSE tool it gave me a failed message and
then the computer locked soon after.
When I booted back up I get the following when I type pvscan:
p4:/var/log # pvscan
