Well...I'm fairly certain that data recovery might not be very easy - or cheap for the matter. The system gets stuck during POST while trying to detect the SATA drive.
Using "vgreduce --removemissing" will be okay - once I verify the current state of the VG. Is there a way to do so _with_ it trying to detect the existence of the partitions or drives? i.e. skip an integrity check and just print out what it thinks the VG is comprised of - that's really what I want at the moment.
