In future I want to replace 'Missing' with something that gives you the PV's UUID, but some code restructuring is needed before I can make that change. I have also already added a command line switch '--removemissing' to vgreduce intended to automate the LVM2 side of the process. People need to read the vgreduce man page before using this option. e.g. To run it with '--test' before running it for real. > I also tried to use vgscan and vgchange from the LVM2.1.95.15 package but it > fails to activate the vm, > But I think that's due to missing kernel/module support for lvm2. Correct. LVM2 needs device-mapper to activate the LVs.
