Obviously data on the bad disk is gone. Can you explain why the entire
file system is gone also?
I did what I said in my previous email and so far it has worked pretty
well. The idea came from this:
https://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/appnote/19386.html#DiskPermanentlyRemoved
So I took a disk and did the: pvcreate --uuid
NOskcl-8nOA-PpZg-DCtW-KQgG-doKw-n3J9xd --restorefile
VolGroup00_00001-16738001.vg /dev/sdc1
The restorefile being the config before the disk died.
Then I did vgcfgrestore with the VolGroup00_00001-16738001.vg followed
by vgscan and vgchange -ay VolGroup00
All the above went well, exactly like on the novell.com link.
pvdisplay shows the 3 disks exactly like before I had the one that died
but the e2fsck (or fsck.ext4) tells me:
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 675863552 blocks
The physical size of the device is 597721088 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort<y>?
That's what I don't understand, shouldn't the size of the device be back
to 675863552 blocks and so I should be able to do the fsck without
getting this warning?
Thanks.

Moral of the story use better disks and don't spread file systems
across multiple devices.

Now the problem is that I can't mount my volume because it says:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock
Which makes sense as the size of the partition is supposed to be 2.4Tb but
now has only 2.2Tb. Now the question is how do I fix this? Should I use a
tool like testdisk or should I be able to somehow create a new physical
volume / volume group where I can add my logical volumes which consist of 2
physical disks and somehow get the file system right (file system is ext4)?
So you basically need a tool that will "invent" about 200 *Gb* of
missing filesystem? :-)
I think you better start grabbing your tapes for a restore...
