That looks good. I understand the I/O error now. It is from an attempt to read from the missing PV. The one question I have is, "Did you ever resize the root filesystem?" I suspect not, since you would have seen errors from the missing blocks. If you _did_, then it should be "interesting" trying to get the filesystem back into its available space. In any case, fixing the LVM structure has to come first, so I say go ahead without the "--test" option. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
