md RAID and LVM recovery techniques.

[Robin Laing]

Hello,

I know how to recover a single md drive but I am not sure how this works 
under LVM.

My situation is two drives for md0 (~130gig) and two for md1.  This on 
FC4 so shouldn't make that much difference.

Joined together under LVM.  One of the md0 drives failed on the weekend 
and I want to ensure that I do this correctly.

As the drive comes up with no file-system error, I want to pull the 
drive out and test it in an external carrier and possibly map out bad 
blocks.

The other option is to replace the drive with a much larger drive (price 
is lower) and partition the as a replacement.

Can I just rebuild the drive under md tools and it will work in the LVM 
or do I have to re-label the drive?

If I pull the drive and put it in a carrier, will I be able to pull data 
off of the drive?

Basically, can I just ignore the LVM on this drive?
