The handling of duplicate PVs has been entirely redone in recent
versions.
The problems you are having are well known and should now be fixed.
Thank you. I've installed the version from Ubuntu 16.10 and the
vgimportclone command worked fine now :).
Still gives those same errors mostly (the duplication detection output)
and provides no other success output that made me a little scared,
WARNING: PV 3U9ac3-Ah5l-cZUf-03Iw-m0cg-MMaK-xdflg0 on /dev/sdc4 was
already found on /dev/sdb4.
WARNING: PV 3U9ac3-Ah5l-cZUf-03Iw-m0cg-MMaK-xdflg0 prefers device
/dev/sdb4 because device is used by LV.
WARNING: PV 3U9ac3-Ah5l-cZUf-03Iw-m0cg-MMaK-xdflg0 on /dev/sdc4 was

Couldn't find device with uuid ZvvuxB-8sgu-quBO-ZQDW-zKr8-pYzI-qF1ygK.
Particularly because one half of a mirrored LV is always missing :p so I
get that last line too, but because I don't memorize my PV UUIDs I'm
always a bit uncertain what it could mean :P.
But the output from lvs indicated that the result was achieved:
msata-lv coll -wi------- 28,91g
raid-lv coll -wi------- 464,36g
msata-lv coll2 -wi-ao---- 28,91g
raid-lv coll2 -wi-ao---- 464,36g
(I renamed my vgs in reverse after the fact).
The above is a terrible design choice I made lol. Instead of creating an
extra partition which would have meant an extended partition to hold 2
distinct PVs, I embedded them in a single partition using a single PV.
The amount of trouble that gives.
Anyway, thank you for your dear answers, previously I was told it was
all my fault because I was stupid and didn't know how to use the tools
properly.
So thanks for that, cya.
