So, I've done pgscan, vgscan, see the group name, tried vgchange --mknod, but the groups aren't active, nor is there a VolGroup directory created down in /dev. Anyone know what I've missed?
vgchange -ay perhaps?
Sorry if I wasn't clear - tried that, a number of times. Oh, well, we decided yesterday afternoon that we had some idea of what was on it, given the volume name (basically, nothing worth saving), and my manager felt we were spending way too much time on this, and so I shredded the disks.
Thanks for everyone's thoughts and help - it was a truly annoying pain, though I did learn a good bit from folks' suggestions about recovering RAID and lvm.
