You've changed the partition table of /dev/sdb but the data itself _should_
still be intact (changing the type shouldn't adversely affect the offsets of
your sdb1 partition). You might try the type change on /dev/sda2 and then
restore the backup of the media_vg's VGDA from /etc/lvm/backup/media_vg
using pvcreate and vgcfgrestore, something like:
pvcreate --restorefile /etc/lvm/backup/media_vg --uuid
rlnV4y-B4eJ-Pyc0-RLJm-2Zbv-t04C-dxzU1A /dev/sdb1
pvcreate --restorefile /etc/lvm/backup/media_vg --uuid
ZHl4Ak-mGS4-wFlF-4neF-G1Ed-GxWB-C4Smj6
/dev/sda2
vgcfgrestore -f /etc/lvm/backup/media_vg test_vg
That said, its unclear to me why /dev/sda2 is unknown... so take my advise
at your own risk ;)
