[linux-lvm] broken fs after removing disk from group

[Marc des Garets]

I think something is possible. I still have the config from before it 
died. Below is how it was. The disk that died (and which I removed) is 
pv1 (/dev/sdc1) but it doesn't want to restore this config because it 
says the disk is missing.

         id = "a0p2ke-sYDF-Sptd-CM2A-fsRQ-jxPI-6sMc9Y"
