Hi,

I really messed up LVM on my backup server.  I'm really out of my depth with
this, and seriously need help.  I've been trying to figure it out the past
few hours.  I know what I did, but not sure if I did what I intended nor how
to correct it.

Currently the system won't boot (Fedora 11).  I can boot the install CD and
use Rescue System option to get a shell.  Files et al are there.

The system was low on space, so I added a new drive.  It already had 3
drives, so I intended to move extents from 2 drives to the new drive so I
can remove the 2 drives.  I believe I successfully moved them using the
Partition Manager tool.  Too easy in fact!

I then removed the 2 drives from the LV and rebooted.  It fails of course -
I see the POST, then some initial messages, and then it hangs with a blank
screen.

I've reviewed lvm CLI commands, looked at statuses, and even tried restoring
from the automatically created LVM archive files (vgcfgrestore).  I'm not
sure that that works from the shell, as when I reboot again (not using the
rescue), the lvm cfg is the same (pvdisplay).

Does anyone have suggestions on how to proceed to fix this?
