Ok, I'm sorry about the continued mailings, but this is the 
last one before I give up ;P.

Output of pvck:

This output is from a different system (CentOS5.3), so the
devices are different than my previous posts.

from doing google searches, I found this gem to restore a
pv:
pvcreate --uuid "cqH4SD-VrCw-jMsN-GcwH-omCq-ThpE-dO9KmJ" 
                  --restorefile /etc/lvm/backup/vg_04 /dev/sdd1 


however, the man page says to 'use with care'. I don't want
to lose data. Can anybody comment on how safe it would be to 
run this?

Thanks in advance,
Julie
