My recollection is that if any drive in an LVM fails the whole LVM fails.
LVM doesn't fail .. but hard drives do. If a hard drive failed that was part of the LVM, you would lose all that info, true. That is why one should use a CRC type RAID (1, 1+0, 5) under LVM ... (or LVM on top of RAID) :)
Then you can replace the failed drive and keep going.
Is there a simple way to install the system on LVM-on-top-of-RAID1?
