I had 2 drives in my machine, with a VG across both of them. The only thing on the second drive was part of /tmp, so when the second drive died I didn't really lose anything. But I have problems now because I can't activate the VG because part of it is missing, but I can't remove tmp, so it's a catch-22. Is there anyway to remove an LV without activating the VG? Or another way I can tell it to ignore missing LV's? Thanks!
