To be slightly more precise, signed drivers cannot become corrupted, or they won't run.

I think this may have been an OS bug, where macOS did not update the StagedExtensions, the version of the driver that loads, compared to what is officially installed.

In any case, happy this is resolved!

I think you need to reinstall the SoftRAID driver.

Uninstall SoftRAID (utilities menu)

resinstall SoftRAID driver. (Allow OWC again)

restart

Clear the iO errors. See if they come back.

Thanks

IO errors are communication errors. Since you are getting constant io errors during rebuild, it is a hardware issue, I am confident of that. At least try resetting your cables, then.  Clear the IO errors again, and try once more to "recover failed disks" or "validate" your volume.

This all happened immediately upon upgrade to monterey. My enclosure is 2 years old.

Often I don't look back. I am trying to respond promptly. So I may not remember the circumstances in a query.

I looked again, however, and you are getting constant errors from disks in the volume.

I think you either have a faulty cable, or faulty enclosure.

Can you try another cable? How old is your enclosure?

This is a hardware issue and I do not think it is a disk issue.

Reset io errors also has no effect.
