Identify it and give it a SoftRAID Disk label if you have not already,  so you can track it.
If it happens again, swap it with another drive bay. Then note if the drop out follows the drive, or the enclosure bay, so you know what is at fault.]]> Functionality Issues SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/functionality-issues/softraid-causing-kernel-panic-on-sequoia/paged/2/#post-24500 RE: SoftRAID causing kernel panic on Sequoia https://forums.softraid.com/functionality-issues/softraid-causing-kernel-panic-on-sequoia/#post-24496 Thu, 06 Nov 2025 02:33:15 +0000 Thank you. One more question. I had one drive drop from the array and had to unmount, re-mount and rebuild. It's working fine again but is that a rare occurrence? Should I be concerned about that? In my other (non SoftRAID) NAS arrays, I rarely have drives drop.

I've generated a new support file. After this am I all ok now?

Glad your drives are OK. Usually when the SMART open source driver is installed, SoftRAID can see the SMART status also. Glad your drives are good. 

Your volume should be rebuilding, unless it is "read only". If you unmount/mount the volume, it just mounts normally?

THere are no SoftRAID formatted disks connected in this support file. And I need a support file with two, then the other two, so I can see all the drives.


Also I need either for you to:

upgrade to Tahoe, or get the trial of DriveDx, and install the SMART driver. THen save the support files.
You will know if this is working, by the disk tile in SoftRAID on your USB drives should show SMART results, generally "Passed"
