Hi
So as guessed earlier - unrelated to lvm2.
You likely need to discover what is wrong with your 'raid' device ?
Was your raid array fully synchronized ?
Do you have only problem with one particular MD 'raid' on your system - or
any other 'raid' you attach/create will suffer the same problem ?
Is it 'nvme' related on your system ?
Are the 'individual' nvme devices running fine - just when they are mixed
together into a single array you get these 'fsfreeze' troubles ?

Zdenek
