Tivemos uma falha no disco em um servidor e o substituímos antes de remover a unidade do LVM.
O servidor possui 4 unidades físicas (PVs), cada uma com seu próprio grupo de volumes (VG). Cada VG possui 2 ou mais volumes lógicos (LVs). Agora, o LVM está reclamando da unidade ausente. Portanto, temos um VG (vg04) com dois LVs que se tornaram órfãos do que precisamos limpar do sistema.
O problema é que toda vez que executamos qualquer comando LVM, obtemos estes erros de 'falha na leitura':

Skipping volume group vg04
Os VG e LV ausentes não são importantes, apenas queremos removê-los.
Como você pode ver, tentamos todas as sugestões feitas, até agora sem sorte.
