Lost partition table after upgrade to 5.0 and updated RAID firmware - Recover Data?

Hello,

After updated ESXi (to 5.0) and forced to update firmware on RAID (Perc 5i) I have lost the partition table on the three presented disks. Before they were joined together in one Datastore. Is there any way to recover the partition tables and join the partitions together again in to a working data store?

fdisk -p on the drives gives me nothing.

and "~ # esxcli storage vmfs snapshot list" gives no output.

"esxcli storage filesystem list" presents the "lost" drives as vfat they were VMFS-3

If you suggest recreating the partition table: doesthat help when they vere joined (three LUNs to one extent)?

vmkernel.log entries pasted at: http://pastebin.com/QMymYDBt

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!
