The drive had a dozen partitions ( 250 GB each ), and, as I remember, I may have successfully moved one. Shortly afterward, the drive completely failed, and, after some attempts to restore it to working, I sent it off to a data recovery service, who told me that the heads had crashed, and it was scrap metal. I have done vgscan, and that complains about missing UUIDs. I had added a new drive and one or more PVs to the VG, and that was what I was trying to pvmove. I have not attached the "new" drive to the machine since the old one failed. I suspect that things are past saving, and that the parts of the drive that may have been successfully transferred are beyond recovery. However, I have never worked in this part of LVM, so thought that I would ask.
