Issue

• Couldn't find device with uuid E0x3P2-b3Lf-27sd-FZlR-TdnY-KW1c-fabcde and There are 1 physical volumes missing messages in LVM commands even when the PV for the mentioned UUID is seen available.
• Attempting to modify a volume group or logical volume fails due to missing devices that are not actually missing:

# lvextend -l+100%PVS /dev/myvg/lv02 /dev/mapper/mpath80
  WARNING: Inconsistent metadata found for VG myvg - updating to use version 89
  Missing device /dev/mapper/mpath73 reappeared, updating metadata for VG myvg to version 89.
  Device still marked missing because of alocated data on it, remove volumes and consider vgreduce --removemissing.

• Any attempt to change a VG or LV claims PVs are missing:

  Cannot change VG myvg while PVs are missing.
  Consider vgreduce --removemissing.

• LVM physical volumes are marked with the missing (m) flag in pvs output even though they are healthy and available:

  PV                   VG      Fmt  Attr PSize  PFree 
  /dev/mapper/mpath24 myvg lvm2 a-m  56.20G     0 

• Volume group is marked as 'partial' and causes lvm commands to fail:

  VG      #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize VFree  
  myvg     42  10   0 wz-pn- 2.31T 777.11G
