If I understand you correctly (you have LVM volumes on disks other than the
failed one), then during a reinstall (or even just booting off a live CD)
those volumes will be recognized. If you provide mount points and don't
reformat them, the data should be available without a problem.
Try booting off a live CD and you'll see the volumes get scanned and
recognized.

Can anyone comment regarding how easy it is to build a Ubuntu volume group
on a new Ubuntu install?? Say we have the following scenario:
- Ubuntu native disk
- Slave disk 1, part of a volume group with single LV used for backup
- Slave disk 2, part of a volume group with single LV used for backup
Say your Ubuntu native disk goes and Ubuntu needs to be rebuilt.? Is it
possible to import both slave disks back into a volume group and retrieve
the data that was on them before?? Are there any precautions prior to the
problem which must be taken in order to allow a restore down the road??
Thanks!
