    I was in the process of doing a pvmove from /dev/md3 to a new, blank
    /dev/md1 when /dev/md1 failed due to operator stupidity.

    I tried doing a pvmove abort, but it complains about a missing device.
    It suggests doing a vgreduce --removemissing but that refuses to proceed
    without a --force because pvmove has placed data onto the broken and
    missing /dev/md1.

    So theoretically all my data should still be available on /dev/md3.   Any
    hints on how to proceed?


I solved the problem.   I did a vgcfgdump, carefully edited the resulting
file, and used vgcfgrestore to bring things back to life.


If you have enabled  archiving - you could use archived metadata before
you started pvmove.


Also if you have 'recent enough' version of lvm2 -  check '--atomic' option
for pvmove.
