Local fix
Problem summary
Replacepv has some faulty logic to try and validate that it has successfully mirrored an LV onto the new replacement disk. So when you are replacing a bad disk that has stalepps (would not be uncommon), replacepv will create a copy of each LV onto the new disk, sync, and then verify. When it verifies, it sees that the copy on the bad disk is still stale, so it warns that the LV may not be fully migrated, but still removes the copy of the bad disk, and then fails out of replacepv without migrating any remaining LVs to the new disk. . You'll see the warnings above, and see that one LV was successfully moved to the new disk, but if you had any other LVs on the bad disk, they would not be moved.
Problem conclusion
Correct the validation part of replacepv so that it will not warn/fail if the LV is not fully syncd, so long as the new copy on the new disk is sync'd. . This will allow replacepv to continue migrating the rest of the LVs to the replacement disk.
Temporary fix
