We have a OWC TB2 4bay Raid 5 edition drive with a MacPro6,1 12 core running 10.13.
The drive was installed April 2020 with 4 Toshiba drives.
There were some minor i/o errors, but the drive worked ok until 2 weeks ago.
Since 2 weeks, the drives only mounts as Read Only.
We changed the disk with i/o errors and rebuild the Raid.
The rebuild was flawless, but the Volume is still Read-only.
What can be the problem? Is there a solution without reformatting?
We tried DiskWarrior, but it doesn't support the Raid volume.

Disk Warrior will work, but you need to get a machine with Catalina or older.
or do a backup/restore.
the SoftRAID driver does not communicate on the file system level, so it is of no help in fixing this, it is macOS.

Having this same issue, but it's now 3 years later. Wondering if there are any updates to the solution. For the record I did not have a recent drive failure and all my drives are showing healthy.

Sorry. Did you use Disk Warrior the last time? If you did, I would use it monthly on all your HFS volumes.

Sorry, my post was confusing. I'm not the OP, but I'm experiencing the same issue. I definitely do not have a machine running Catalina in 2024. Can DiskWarrior now fix this on the latest versions of MacOS?

Disk Warrior works on any HFS volume (not APFS) and runs in Sonoma, yes.

Hey! Ok so I got DiskWarrior set up and it repaired the disk, bringing it back to a read-write state. However, after I repaired the file structure, SoftRAID is complaining about disks in the past not being readable or writeable (yes, obviously) and it's showing all disks as failed. What do I do to fix this?

Attach a support file. I believe you just need to use "recover failed disks" and rebuild.
