Unhappy ack! rm -rf /opt/zimbra/db

Help!

I managed to fat finger an 'rm -rf' command and wiped out /bin, /lib64, /opt/zimbra/backup and /opt/zimbra/db directories.

I think everything else in /opt/zimbra is still intact. After I quickly stopped the 'rm -rf', the web and admin interface continued to function, but mail wasn't being delivered because /lib64 was gone and postfix stopped working.

I'm going to rebuild the server on a different box, and I was able to use a rescue disk to rsync off what was left of the filesystem.

/opt/zimbra/db was on it's own LVM logical volume. Other than trying to salvage the data from the LVM partition, is there any way to recreate what was in /opt/zimbra/db ? Backups are gone.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
