OK.

No device is currently blocking. I can read from all LV devices
(including meta devices), all underlying PVs and all filesystems:
for dev in $(lvs -a -olv_dm_path --noheadings); do
echo $dev;
dd if=$dev of=/dev/null bs=4k count=10000 iflag=direct;
done
for pv in $(pvs -oname --noheadings); do
echo $pv
dd if=$pv of=/dev/null bs=4k count=10000 iflag=direct
done
echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
for mp in $(findmnt -t xfs,ext4 -o TARGET -l -n); do
echo $mp;
tar -cf- --one-file-system "$mp" 2>/dev/null| head -c $((1024**3))
>/dev/null;
done

OK. I'll try.
Thanks for your help!
