Crap I thought that I would just lose the information on that drive and not
the entire volume :/

I dont have any issues with raid but I want to maximise my storage and I
 dont really care if I lose the data. It would just be nice if I didn't
loose everything cause of one disk dying. Maybe I should be looking at
something like unionfs but from the man page it looks very old, out of date
and slightly dangerous. All the things I like in cheese but not in file
systems.
