I have posted to this list before with some problems, I have worked most
of them out since I now can access the LV... now for my next problem...
How can I shrink/remove a PV that's in the middle of a VG without
reading that drive... since all access to the disk causes the server to
hang and need a reboot before I can use it again...
As I understand the fs is shrunk from the end and towards the beginning
of the fs but I need to remove a piece in the middle...
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/lvm_01/lvm_01

I need to remove /dev/hdg from the system... but I need to keep the rest
of the disks intact... ie I want to shrink the lv between Logical extent
9158 to 12882. and I need it to be forced and without fsck since fsck
will scan that drive and cause the server to hang... I have tried some
things with e2fsadm without luck... so I need some help pretty bad...
Thank you!
