If the messages are accurate, there's likely to be only a problem with lv02, not lv03 which you're trying to mount, so try a normal (rw) mount of lv03 and see if the ext3 recovery copes, or else try fsck. If you took the disk-level backups first you can restore the disks from the backups if fsck makes things worse and you need to try other restoration methods. *AFTER* you've completed extracting your data, you can use LVM2's vgreduce to tidy up the LVM configuration, removing the lost PVs and partially-missing LV completely. But read the vgreduce man page first and use --test before running it for real to check it's going to do something sensible in your circumstances.
