After add a 2nd nvme, lvm-thin just "broke"... sort of...

Hi folks

There is this customer that has a Supermicro server, and a rise card with a RAID card and 1 nvme.
The rise card has 3 slot:
First slot has a RAID card
Second one has an nvme
Third - and last - one was empty
In the RAID card he had installed Proxmox VE 7.x. (Ok! I know that is time to update!)
On the second slot/nvme he had created a lvm-thin LV called nvme1.
But now when he put the second nvme in the third slot, the server comes right up, but the lvm-thin goes to problems.
When try to create or start a vm he got this error message:

Code:
kvm: -drive file=/dev/nvme1/vm-102-disk-0,if=none,id=drive-sata0,format=raw,cache=none,aio=io_uring,detect-zeroes=on: Could not open '/dev/nvme1/vm-102-disk-0': Not a directory
TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1


With the second nvme he had created a VG called nvme2 and an LV called nvme2.
At first I tought that about the same name in the VG and LV that could cause some conflict. So I went ahead and remove the lvm-thin nvme2/nvme2.
But no luck.

After shutdown the server and remove the second nvme everything works fine include the VM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
