Hey Folks,

Is there a method (or possibility) of restoring any data from a dual drive 
spanned LVM array when one of the drives has failed?

Drives = WD 2500 (250GB IDE)
OS     = SuSE 9.0
LVM    = 1.0.7-105
fs     = reiserfs 3.6.9-33

# pvscan
pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/hdd1" of VG "volume2" [232.84 GB / 0 free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/hdb1" of VG "volume2" [232.84 GB / 0 free]
pvscan -- total: 2 [465.74 GB] / in use: 2 [465.74 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0]

Thanks,

Ron
