Re: [linux-lvm] broken fs after removing disk from group

[Marc des Garets <marc@ttux.net>]

I am in luck, I rebooted and fsck no longer complains about the size of 
the physical blocks that differ from the filesystem so now it's running 
and I believe it should be successful. I expected the reboot would sort 
this out after I saw the lvdisplay was giving the right size but that 
fdisk -l was not. I can still mount my partition and access the files so 
now I expect fsck to get rid of the files that were on the dead disk and 
which are now obviously giving I/O errors.
