I had once a 40GB HDD failure and I have managed to restore all the data on it by repeatedly putting it in a fridge what enabled me to dd its partions for about 10 minutes or so. But in that case the partitions were relatively small and the disk mounted quick and easy. Now imagine that have failed a 4TB HDD disk that is part of much bigger LVM volume. Moreover, suppose that it is impossible to restore that part of the failed HDD disk that indexes all that LVM volume...
