Hi there,

We're using Centos 7.0 with lvm 2.02.105 and met a problem as underlying:
After a electricity powerdown in the datacenter room, thin provision
volumes came up with wrong states:

*[root at storage ~]# lvs -a*
*  dm_report_object: report function failed for field data_percent*
*  LV                              VG               Attr       LSize

 the thin pool "pool_nas" and general lv "lvol0" are active, but thin
provision volumes cannot be actived even with cmd "lvchange -ay
thin_volume_name".

To recover it, we tried following ways refer to these mail conversations:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/lvm/msg22629.html and
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lvm.general/14828.

1, USE: "lvconvert --repair vgg145155121036c/pool_nas"
output as below and thin volumes still cannot be active.
WARNING: If everything works, remove "vgg145155121036c/pool_nas_tmeta0".
WARNING: Use pvmove command to move "vgg145155121036c/pool_nas_tmeta" on
the best fitting PV.

2, USE manual repair steps:
2a: inactive thin pool.
2b: create a temp lv "metabak".
2c: swap the thin pool's metadata lv: "lvconvert --thinpool vgg145155121036
c/pool_nas --poolmetadata metabak -y", only with "-y" option can submit the
command.
2d: active temp lv "metabak" and create another bigger lv "metabak1".
2e: repair metadata: "thin_restore -i /dev/vgg145155121036c/metabak-o /dev/
vgg145155121036c/metabak1", and got segment fault.

So, is there any other way to recover this or some steps we do wrong?

Thank you very much.
Mars
