Here are some new additional info :
My colleague mounted this LUN to a different host and we found the same partitions over there too which is normal.
I dd a 1st device to a file and opened the image file with bvi and found some hosts name, VG name etc etc. in there. Then he ran a recovery tool (R studio) in all three devices and was able to recover most of this data. So my question is: if the LUN has been re partitioned for ex: say to install windows , why am i seeing our data in these newly created partitions? Is it possible to see data in a reapportioned drive?
Partitioning doesn't overwrite the disk. I'm not familiar with R studio, so I don't know if you're saying that whole directories reappeared, or whether it found and relinked the files, and added them to the directory structure.
