I would say that you probably have a physical disk error.

You need to run some disk checking tools. The one I use is quite expensive I'm afraid but can recover most errors that can be recovered. It is Spinrite.

  • You can wipe the disks if you don't need the data on them. Most likely that will get rid of the error. Most such errors are transitory.

  • When you reformatted, did you create it as a simple volume rather than LVM?

It looks like you potentially have multiple paths to the disks. When you have LVM configured on multipathed devices you have to tell /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to point to the multipath reference.

What it is doing is attempting to use each disk when it should be using /dev/multipath_dev.

In your /etc/lvm/lvm.conf there should be an item for filter. Look at that line and work on getting that to match up to the proper devices. Once that is done you can use pvs to see if what you have is right. There is some trial and error when doing this sometimes.
