I have a file system that spanned two physical disks on my Linux machine bu=
t one disk was lost and had to be pulled out due to excessive errors.  Are =
there instructions anywhere for being able to truncate the file system to t=
he size of the good disk and mount it that way?  The disk that is left is g=
ood so data in it should be intact.  It is just that volume manager command=
s don=E2=80=99t see the volume in it, only the disk group itself.
