please can you retry using:
--[raid]syncaction {check|repair}
This argument is used to initiate various RAID
synchronization operations. The check and repair options provide a
way to check the integrity of a RAID log‐
ical volume (often referred to as "scrubbing").
These options cause the RAID logical volume to read all of the data
and parity blocks in the array and
check for any discrepancies (e.g. mismatches between
mirrors or incorrect parity values). If check is used, the
discrepancies will be counted but not
repaired. If repair is used, the discrepancies will
be corrected as they are encountered. The 'lvs' command can be used
to show the number of discrepan‐
cies found or repaired.
maybe --resync is for mirror and you are using raid
--resync
Forces the complete resynchronization of a mirror. In
normal circumstances you should not need this option because
synchronization happens automatically.
Data is read from the primary mirror device and copied
to the others, so this can take a considerable amount of time - and
during this time you are without
a complete redundant copy of your data.

> The method for restoring raid 10, which I posted in my previous email, works very well for raid 5 on 4 PVs. I tried many times the "--uuid" method from the link you sent me and I always end up with destroyed data. Here comes the output of the tests I performed:
