OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
REPLACING PHYSICAL VOLUMES
vgdisplay --partial --verbose will show you the UUIDs and sizes of any
PVs that are no longer present. If a PV in the VG is lost and you wish
to substitute another of the same size, use pvcreate --restorefile
filename --uuid uuid (plus additional arguments as appropriate) to ini‐
tialise it with the same UUID as the missing PV. Repeat for all other
missing PVs in the VG. Then use vgcfgrestore--file filename to
restore the volume group's metadata.
