I have set up lvm partitions on my notebook, and I am a little worried I might delete them by mistake, or in other ways corrupt my data… so I have som questions:
* Where is lvm information stored?
* As long as I don't format my lvm volume group partition (now on /dev/sda3), can I restore the logical volumes on it?
* If I merge several physical drives in one volume group and then (for some stupid reason) start my computer without one of them, dose it corrupt the data?
Thank you for your help!

1. see here
2. see number 1: unless you have otherwise increased the size of other logical volumes and overwritten the empty space in the volume group, it should be possible.
3. yes, but only the data on the missing disks: check the vgreduce manpage for how to recover from that.
