vgreduce --removemissing $VGName ; vgchange -ay

Of course you'll loose any LV data on the lost drive.

Are there instructions anywhere for being able to truncate the file system to the size of the good disk and mount it that way?  The disk that is left is good so data in it should be intact.  It is just that volume manager commands don’t see the volume in it, only the disk group itself.
