LVM2 allows you to activate partial volume groups and to remove missing physical volumes via the --partial and --removemissing options to vgchange and vgreduce. See the manual pages for full details. It sounds like your failed drive has not 'gone away' but is throwing I/O errors for some sectors and maybe causing system hangs. You might be better off disconnecting it and booting the system into a rescue environment to perform the recovery of the volume group since it does not contain important data you want to recover.

Do u mean rescue env like booting with the rescue cd? I tried to do like u said but when i disconnect the drive, some other device take /dev/sdc from the failed drive but LVM complains that UID is missing and when i check /etc/backup/VG i can see the missing UID and that is the drive that have failed /dev/sdc Now i'm afraird to remove the /dev/sdc from the volume group beacuse some other drive took over /dev/sdc. Can u please provide some useful commands that i can begin with?
