Since I don't see this anywhere else (we do on very rare occasion), I am suspecting something about your enclosures.

Power on your enclosure(s). Do the disks spin up one at at a time (you can tell from the access lights in front)?
Or all at once?

that will give some insight here...

For the future, in SoftRAID Preferences, set the RAID time out to 1 minute.

@softraid-support can't exactly put my finger on it. But it happens after a reboot of the computer. My theory is that since these are now all external drives, the thunderbolt connections don't come online at the same time & I'm constantly seeing the raid volumes being rebuilt on bootups.

@dougbitt

What is your workflow when this is happening?

Anything you can describe? we will create a new recovery file, but this should in no way be happening twice.

1. need to remove the missing drive for now

2. combine the remaining separated volume
