lvm2 version 2.02.98-6ubuntu2

After doing a lvextend of a LVM Thin Pool, I had a corruption all sub
LVM Thin Volumes and lost all of them. Then tried to dump/repair the
tmeta and end up with empty thin volumes (no more filesystem signature on them).

To sum up
The thin_pool was 2T and I tried to increased it to 3T...

As fare as I know, none of the partitions were full but I increased the main
thin pool as it was close to the sum of all sub thin volumes.

I assume that using LVM Thin is still not stable on 14.04 LTS right?

I guess that lvm2 2.02.98 does not properly handle the metadata resize
of a thin pool right? (maybe add a warning somewhere in doc?)

I managed to recover some files from the raw thin_pool (tdata/tpool) with scalapel
but that is it.

Do you known any other tools to recovery lvm thin volumes or partition/data on it?
