you say that you don't have a recent LVM metadata backup reflecting your VG with /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc in it ?
I found a files_vg.conf and put it in /etc/lvmconf, did pvcreate and successful vgcfgrestores on all of them. I had to move the disks around a bit to make them appear in their old places since they're now in a new machine (vgcfgrestore complained otherwise). The bad disk is now at /dev/ide/host2/bus1/target1/lun0/disc

What did I do wrong (this time)?
