[linux-lvm] LVM crashed, no superblock on dozens of LVs even after vgcfgrestore

[Jack Waterworth]

Does the device actually exist here? I usually see these types of errors 
when there is something wrong with the PV. More information should be 
available via dmesg during activation.

     # lvchange -ay vgname/lvname
     # dmesg

As for the xfs file-system, i'd recommend reaching out to the xfs 
community if you believe your lvm stack is intact.  Even if it's not, 
they may be able to provide some insight.
