Hi, using Monterey 12.5, soft raid 6.3 on Mac Studio max with raid 10 16TB, [8x4TB disks in 2 thunderbay4 boxes], formatted as 4X4TB volumes. 7 disks ok and 1 disc is reported missing so raid is degraded. The missing disc is present without errors and is missing 7 disks.
The softraid reports this driver error "one or more disks contain an unsupported softraid partition format. Please use a newer version of softraid with these disks."
Not sure how to fix this- any thoughts? I hope this is in the correct sub forum.

Attach A SoftRAID technical support file (Utilities menu) so I can check before giving recommendations.

Make sure your backups are up to date.
Locate the disk for the volume that has 7 missing disks.
initilaize that disk.
Now you can "Add disk" to the volume and let it rebuild. You can use it while rebuilding.

@softraid-support Thanks all rebuilt now.
Also I am setting up a bigger raid10 with 8x12TB. Is there a preferred stripe size [video & photoshop mainly]? I am using Monterey and I seem to remember seeing a preference for stripe sizes to prevent hangs.. maybe this only applies to raid 5 ??

That does only apply to RAID 5. I recommend the default 64k unless you have a very good reason to do otherwise.
