I had one of my 4tb disks fall out of my main VG, but I didn't lose

better.
But it's almost to the point where it's cheaper to buy a pair of 8tb
drives to replace the 4x4tb drives I'm using now. But I probably
won't.
You should have bought an 8TB to replace the 4 ... one more failure :-(
and you would have your 2x8 (and raid-0 the remaining 4s to provide your
3rd mirror).
I could write for hours here... it's a tough problem space to work
through.
Made worse if, like me, you're more into logical completeness than "will
it finish in finite time" :-)
