So, you have seven disks involved. Which disk(s) were formatted? Key question: Do you have any sort of backups of the disks, and at what level? (File level or device level) How old are they?
How active were (i.e. How much updating was there on) the disks? Do you have a second Linux image on which you could mount the disks and assess the damage? -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation .~.
