Hi Nicolas,

You can try to recover VG metadata from a backup or archive which lvm
automatically creates by default.

1) To list all available backups for given VG:

#vgcfgrestore --list Usi3y8-S4eq-EXtl-FA58-MA3K-b4vE-4d9SCp

Select the latest one which sounds right, something with a description
along the lines of "Created *before* lvremove".
You might want to select something older than the latest as lvm does a
backup also *after* running some command.


2) Find UUID of your broken PV (filter might not be needed, depends on your
local conf):

#pvs -o pv_name,pv_uuid --config='devices/filter = ["a|.*|"]'
/dev/mapper/36001405063455cf7cd74c20bc06e9304


3) Create a new PV on a different partition or disk (/dev/sdX) using the
UUID found in previous step and restorefile option:

#pvcreate --uuid <ID_OF_BROKEN_PV> --restorefile <PATH_TO_BACKUP_FILE>
<EMPTY_DISK>


4) Try to display the VG:

# vgdisplay Usi3y8-S4eq-EXtl-FA58-MA3K-b4vE-4d9SCp
