The only option I know of is to vgremove {vg} --removemissing and
sometimes you may even have to use a -f to force it. But be aware,
this will destroy any LVs you have on that PV. I have had one person
recommend to me trying dd_rescue or the like on the failed drive to a
new drive to see if you can at least salvage some of the data.
Haven't tried that though. Good luck
Maybe duplicate the failing PV on to a new disk. Add that to the LV,
and remove the failing one. The OP will have to make sure the details
of this last step; all references of the old PV should be replaced with
the new PV (maybe all that is required is to change the UUID).
I would use ddrescue for the duplication. I once recovered a failing
single disk LV with it.
