I accidently did a LVM pvcreate on a reiserfs disk partition. Are any
of the files recoverable? I did not follow the pvcreate by adding
the partition to any volume group.

Thanks.

You can try putting the partition table back on the disk using parted. Just
don't do a mkfs or mkreiserfs on it. Keep in mind I've never done this
before. FYI: PVCREATE zeros out your partition table.
