if you don't need your data - yes. mkvg -f. Otherwise - no. Why do you want to get it back?

Well, yes - it would be possible, but not inline that I know of.

If you have enough storage for making a copy I would start by running the command savevg to only create a backup of the structure, then 'edit' that so that it creates a 'Big' or 'Normal' vg and create the new vg.

Then, with the system 'idle'
Code:
# cd $old; find . | backup -if - | (cd $new; restore -xqf -)
