I forgot to run export on my volume group before disconnecting it from
my system. Is there any way to mount the volume group without access to
the original machine?
If I could get the machine back up, but without this volume group
attached, is there any way to get the metadata I need from some system
files somewhere on the drive? Or do I have to physically bring the
volume group to the machine (not possible)?
Thanks,
Jared

Isn't it recognized by the target machine even if it was not properly
exported? I once had similar problems when trying to migrate a VG to
an other system which already had a VG. In this case I had to "import"
the new VG properly, to arrange it with the already running VG.
If you are using LVM2, all necessary informations to get it running
again are saved on each PV, regardless of beeing exported or not.
