That means you must be using LVM1.

Try the 'pvdata' command (see man page for options) to find out what's
on a particular PV.

[For people reading this in the list archives, the LVM2 command to see 
the layout is lvdisplay --maps]

Another option: 
    An fsck (not while fs is mounted) with the badblocks option?  [-c]

But if the whole disk is gone, the best option is likely to be LVM2's 
partial mode (see list archives).
