Similarly, what does "can't find the LVM Volume array" mean? What errors do you get activating it?
As a general rule, posting problems without specific error messages is only going to solicit guesswork at best. Posting the errors up front saves everyone time and effort.

I have 5 hard drives and an uefi motherboard, and my gpt partition table is something like this
1 - 100MB Uefi partition ef00 # needed for booting and stuff
2 - 100MB Linux partion 8300 # /boot
3 - 2T Linux partition 8300 # lvm with all other stuff
My raid5 array is on /dev/sd[abcde]3 and on that have LVM which is partitioned to /, /home, /swap.
Now one hard drive died (/dev/sdd) and I would just like to get my data from the remaining 4 drives, which should be doable with raid5.
booting doesn't work, and so i boot from a live uefi arch usb, and I can't find the LVM Volume array.
could you guys please help me out here, there's some stuff on those drives i would reall like to get back.
or if you know where else i could ask such a question so that others might help?
Thank you, Zidar
PS: I have created a simmilar setup in virtualbox so I can try varios things.
