[linux-lvm] --removemissing explanation

["Joseph L. Casale" <jcasale ActiveNetwerx com>]

Referring back to a frantic post I made earlier, if a pv providing extents used in a vg with *some* of those extents used in an lv disappears, why doesn't the removemissing option restore the lv so at least I can salvage what may be left? How can the lv always be no longer available?

Thanks for any clarification!
