You need to find a version of the metadata that's consistent & contains
the LV that has gone "missing", then restore that using vgcfgrestore.

You should also probably look at the metadata backups for lines that
begin "description = ", as these contain the command that was run at the
time the archive was created. If your LV disappeared at some point in
the past there is a good chance this will tell you when & why.

Bryn.
