It doesnt work without specifying the filesystem but at least it works. I basically removed all drives from the lv and removed the info on the drive using pvremove. Then I complety restarted from scratch (following the howto at tldp.org) making sure I added the devices in the same order as I originally had them. Thats about all I can offer for advice. I don't even know if it is dangerous to do it this way or not but it worked for me, maybe it will work for someone else one day also.
