I am struggling to recover from a failed pvmove. Unfortunately I only have a limited knowledge of lvm. I setup my lvm configuration many years ago.

I was trying to move a lv to a SSD using pvmove. Unfortunately my brand new SSD choose that moment to fail (never buy cheap SSDs, lesson learnt!").

This is the current status.

I am quite happy to loose the root lv, I just need the home and work lvs. What am I missing?

Help!
