I don't think the dumpconfig is particularly useful. as it only show
lvm internal configuration.
Much more useful would be something like the output of
pvs -o +pv_uuid,lv_name 2>/dev/null
as this would show the lvm disk configuration, and
(pvs -o +pv_uuid,lv_name >/dev/null) 2>&1 | sort -u
which will show the unique errors.
Another key question is can you reboot to fix, or do you have to fix online?
Certainly you can do things in dmsetup, but you need to ensure a
result that removes any persistent
lvm disk configuration too, otherwise you will probably just get a
same/similar problem on reboot.
