This looks like corrupted vg metadata.
Yes, the second metadata area, at the end of the device is corrupted; the
first metadata area is probably ok. That version of lvm is not able to
continue by just using the one good copy.
Last week I pushed out major changes to LVM upstream to be able to handle
and repair most of these cases. So, one option is to build lvm from the
upstream master branch, and check if that can read and repair this
metadata.
David, we keep 2 metadata copies on the first PV. Can we use one of
the
copies on the PV to restore the metadata to the least good state?
pvcreate with --restorefile and --uuid, and with the right backup metadata
could probably correct things, but experiment with some temporary PVs
first.
