Hi

You could try  'lvconvert --repair  vg/data'

However it depends how new version of 'thin_repair' tool is present on your 
system. The newer the tool - the more error cases it's able to recover.

i.e. I'd highly recommend to use version 0.9 or better.

In case the repair will NOT be successful (aka you cannot activate your thin 
volumes)  - you will have 'original' bad metadata in the device   data_meta0 
- you could compress and upload the content of this metadata device for futher 
analysis.
