It looks like you exported the VG and removed /dev/hdj1, right? If that assumption is true, you still need /dev/hdj1 in order to get your VG back. Then do the following: # vgimport garage /dev/hd[efgj]1 # vgchange -ay garage # vgreduce garage /dev/hdj1 That should bring your VG back and reduce it by the empty /dev/hdj1 physical volume. You can physically remove /dev/hdj1 afterwards if you want to.
