OK, this was my error, I only used it on the pv I found damaged.

This + using the uuid_fixer made it work again.
Thank you very much for this!

No, all I remember it was a very short or even noninformative message :-<

I will do a backup tonight and then try pvmove again. If I get an error I
will surely let you know!

Thank you again!
