No, I was really moving 4 out of that box. I just got confused writing my mail as there were 3 other disks involved and I was shuffling them around and using some of them temporarily to reach the setup I wanted. But I am off topic here .. ;) It has not been a LVM nor a software problem. One of the power connectors was broken, so one disk did not have power. Maybe it is possible to have a more expressive error message? Something like "VG <name> consists of 4 PVs, only finding 3". Anyway, it was my fault, thanks for your thoughts about it!
