i was happy to find a backup of logical volume and it says that there were 1 more harddrive, which
is now NOT accessible. so i assume that this is the problem, since vgscan complains about
'current PV not accessible'. I`ll try to do my best in searching for this hard drive, but chances i`ll find
it safe are really low (since anyone who took it, really needed it for something =)

Now i have unaccessible lvm1 volume, 2 hard drives (hdf and hdg) and backup file that contains
information about lvm1 when it had 3 hard drives(+hdh).

Are there are any ways to get data from remaining drives? How to remove information about 3rd drive from volume?
Is it possible?

P.S. sorry that i didn`t understand immediately that problem was because of loosing 1 of drives from lvm.
