I don't know either. I'm just far more familiar with the dm/md layer
because I run md-raid over dm-integrity. Hence dm-crypt.
Is cryptsetup a layer in its own right, or part of lvm? I prefer the
Unix "use several tools each of which does one thing well", other people
prefer a swiss army knife like ZFS or btrfs. I don't know where
cryptsetup lies on that spectrum, and I don't know your preferences on
that spectrum.
Just seen Rich's message, so now I know :-)
But it's just hit me - you have three PV's joined into one LV? Is that
effectively raid-0? If so, you know you have just TREBLED your risk of
losing your home drive? (Although I do know the risk is low to start with.)
Don't know what really to suggest though, other than getting a new 8TB
drive and converting it to a 3x8TB 16TB raid-5 ... and you said you
didn't want to splash out on a new drive ...
