I had a bad drive in my volume group, so I tried "vgreduce --removemissing VolGroup00" which seemed to work. Then, I tried "vgchange -ay --partial VolGroup00" which also appeared to complete successfully.  It seems like I was partly successful but I cannot get the logical volume to be recognized.  I don't know what else to do?  Where can I learn more about LVM?  How does one utilize the LVM archive or backup files?  Can't seem to find an answer to this problem.  Is all of my data lost?
