Hello, I'm currently using lvm on my box and one disk just died. Then the second disk (hdb) became the first one (hda). The problem is that now I can't get back the physical volume which is on it. Is it possible to tell lvm to force the reading of a PV even if it isn't on the same disk as before ? Thank you for your help.
