But this was due to some old bug with a 2.6.12 or 13 kernel. May be it's interesting to have a look into /etc/lvm/backup/LVM and the associated backups, to understand whats going on. To overcome the problem of hanging LVM I shut down my server and performed a "pvmove --abort" in single user mode while the LVM was not activated. This restored it to the state before.
