Dion't forget you need to quit/relaunch the SoftRAID Application after running any terminal commands. The Application does not know what you do outside of it. So you need to quit and run SoftRAID again to observe changes.

roberson@Sandras-iMac ~ % softraidtool volume J3 create 200gb nonraid disk2
SoftRAIDTool status: Creating new volume: "J3".
SoftRAIDTool status: waiting for disk2 to finish (00:00:30)
Waiting for command to complete
Volume "J3" created successfully (disk74)
roberson@Sandras-iMac ~ % softraidtool volume J3 info

But my only menu items are unmount and disable journaling. If it were a matter of safeguard then there would be the menu entry to disable safeguard.

By default, Safeguard is enabled, it prevents accidental deletion of volumes.

Is that expected behaviour? (Not what I would have expected...)
