You don't say how you actually first discovered something had gone wrong,
or give any clues about what might have led up to the problem causing it.

Your message doesn't show any LVM problems.

Did something scribble over your disks?
Have you tried mounting with alternative superblocks?

You should only use those if you've lost a disk or accidentally overwritten
the start of one and vgcfgrestore isn't working.
