Bad. Depends on the amount of damage you have created, the following procedure would work: I believe the failure is in /dev/sda8, around 30GB, based on your fileserver lvm backup file. Upload an older one for me to be sure. pvcreate -u GBsXFQ-RdXS-iMhp-Phle-iqfM-5571-aJgQAa /dev/sda8
(if successful), try the following: in /etc/lvm/backup, find a file describing a good configuration, before you attempted to force-remove the PV. You can perform the following action then: vgcfgrestore -f <the file you have found, and hopefully uploaded here> fileserver If successful, run: vgchange -ay fileserver and you should be able to mount whatever LV you did not run over with zeros.
