unlikely. it would not have changed the file system layout.

more likely, the mapping is wrong.

what do you find in /etc/lvm/backup and /etc/lvm/archive ?
those are plain text files, which store the mapping at that point in
time. compare it with the current mapping.
maybe there is something obvious in the difference...

btw, what did you find on the 253,5
which was missing from your previous device node list?

well, everything is possible :->
its more a question of time and effort...
