Is there a way to access/start up a volume group from a
single drive of a failed raid 1?
I had a drive fail on my raid 1 array, and I didn't want to
have to bring up a md device to be able to access the
volume group information. Is there any way to access the
individual drives in the array without having to bring it
up?
I know that on a Solaris system, you can access any single
drive in a mirror independently, if the mirror is
misbehaving.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sure. I've done it recently.

Why? The md device should be perfectly functional with 1 working drive.

I don't think so, but that's more a RAID question than an LVM one.
