(Un)fortunately, I don’t see any kind of controller errors, but I definitely second your opinion

xfs_repair output (which I unfortunately do not have) was sparse (ignoring the many dots it printed after having failed to find the primary superblock), basically it removed invalid references. lost+found contains 1 directory (which is empty)

As for the bug you referenced above: Yes, it looks similar, but we have no pvmove going on anywhere at any time, but I’ll see if I can try to reproduce the error with the many files (kernel source) as described in the bug.

For reference, the LVM versions currently in use:

root at hsoi-gts3-de02:/# lvdisplay --version
  LVM version:     2.02.66(2) (2010-05-20)
  Library version: 1.02.48 (2010-05-20)
  Driver version:  4.25.0


Thanks so far :)

Best regards,

Sascha
