I don't think posting dozens of errors will help much. Here's what I see: the problems started off with a few dozen "bit already cleared" errors from reiserfs, then it had a load of tree/node problems. Then it got an I/O error, and it all went south from there. On reboot, the LVM vgscan can't read the LV details from the physical volumes. All appears to suggest that the LVM layer went completely bananas.
I'm using the kernel level NFS server. I wonder if the user level one would be any better. Perhaps there's something messy in that interaction.
Have you ruled out the possibility of a physical problem [bad/loose cable, power spikes, cosmic rays, or ...?] or perhaps a physically bad controller? [had that happen once -- the controller "flipped bits" on writes -- and this was on a mini/mainframe!]
