Now you need to "erase" the volume. (delete your data). SoftRAID does not rebuild volumes that cannot mount, it prevents data issues when the directory is damaged.

You will also need to clear the IO counters (errors) on the one drive. then you should see a healthy volume.

It appears the bottom drive needs to be replaced and the new one "yellow", I assume, is rebuilding. Is that correct? A rebuild can take a while as I understand it. Is there anything else I should do now?

That is easy then at this point.
I expect this to be the easiest way:
Insert the drive.

When it has spun it, use SoftRAID to "erase" the volume.

I expect that will clear the out of sync message, also, so you do not need to delete/create a new volume/restore.

Let me know.

I have no problem redoing the whole thing (equivalent to reformatting a single drive) if you can point me to how to do it.

Did this volume mount before you replaced the disk?

if so, what if you remove the disk you added?

I see two disks that have a problem, the other has IO errors.
