It is not possible !

Only option you *might* have, is to do a dd_rescue 
from the failing disk on to a new disk (I used same make/model), only works if 
the old disk sometimes still has a little life in it.. 

http://freshmeat.net/projects/ddrescue/

I used it once, took a LONG time, stopping and 
starting it, but recovered over 90% in the end
Patience, having a rubber hammer at hand, hitting 
it from time to time...

Else: restore from 
backup !
(You DO have a backup, right ?)

  Subject:  recover problem from 
  hard disk failure

  Hi, all

  One among three hard disks 
  constituting a LVM logical volume has failed.
  How to recover data from the other 
  two hard disks?

  Sincerely,
