So was this state a result of some 'regular' workflow you can reproduce? Or is this some state after some 'vgcfgrestore' usage while some live LVs were present in table? Or maybe some incorrectly working error path in code after some failure? You would probably need to tar /etc/lvm/archive - eventually open upstream lvm2 community bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=LVM%20and%20device-mapper and provide steps for reproduction and 'lvmdump -a -m' Final note - if this bug is happening with some old version of lvm2 - check first if the newer version isn't already fixed.
