Sorry I don't use LVM enough to recommend any fault finding techniques... so unable to help.
The worst part will probably trying to find out the cause so it doesn't happen again.
However one thing to consider if you end up doing a re-install (if you haven't already).
While LVM brings with it much flexibility if also brings with it more complexity, and as you have unfortunately found out, a greater mess when things go wrong.
You can avoid LVM (it's the default) if you want during an install...
1. Select "I will configure partitioning"
2. On the partitioning screen find the words "New mount points to existing partitions after selecting them"
3. Directly under is a box with "LVM" and a down arrow to the right.
4. Click on the down arrow and select "Standard partition"
5. Create your partitions - naturally you will be need to know what sizes you require"
Here's mine done this way... no LVM.

If you require LVM - then by all means install it....
and finally I recommend at least 1G for boot as kernels are growing... -
