Possibly. Could you fill in these gaps in the puzzle:
0. Which distro?
1. Do a lvmdump for bug report:
lvmdump -ma
2. Try with verbose
vgremove -vvvv &> vgremove-dirty.out
3. Check if lvmetad is running:
ps aux | grep lvmetad
3.1 if so, the issue is likely to go away after restarting it. If you
`gcore` or `kill -SEGV` it to get a core dump it may help us.
3.2 do another lvmdump here, to get "updated" data after lvmdump restart
3.3 retry vgremove
vgremove -vvvv &> vgremove-reloaded.out
4. pastebin the vgremove-dirty.out and we will be able to tell more then.
