Assuming size=3 and min_size=2 It will run degraded (read/write capable) until a third host becomes available at which point it will backfill the third copy on the third host. It will be unable to create the third copy of data if no third host exists. If an additional host is lost the data will become inactive+degraded (below min_size) and will be unavailable for use. Though data will not be lost assuming no further failures beyond the 2 full hosts occurs and again if the second and third host comes back the data will recover. Always best to have an additional host beyond the size setting for this reason.
