[linux-lvm] lvm cannot vgchange -a y _pv_get_number failed for rdev = 65535

hi,
I found only three matches, two postings, for this, and no solution. may
be you solved this problem back then, and can tell me about it.

I cannot vgchange -a y :
_pv_get_number_failed for rdev = 65535
_lvm_snapshot_fill_COW_page failed

(I once toyed around with a snapshot, but never used it actually, and
obviously never removed it again)

so is there an "easy" solution except recreating the whole thing and
hoping for some recent backup (which I doubt...)

if theres no solution, is there a way to dd the data somewhere
 and mount -o loop it to get the data back?
