Joseph,
there's 2 options you've got (2nd one looks a bit hacky ;):
a. boot a rescue media with LVM installed on it and run "vgscan -f"
b. presuming you don't have devfs, detach the JBOD, boot from HD, move all /dev
entries belonging to the JBOD to a different directory (i.e. /dev/.SAV),
shutdown and reattach the JBOD, boot, move /dev/.SAV/* back to /dev and
run "vgscan -f"
Regards,
Heinz -- The LVM Guy --
