Cannot mount RAID 1

Good morning.
I suddenly got an error that one of the two drives in my RAID 1 had I/o issues and should be replaced. I was in the middle of working on a wedding shoot job. I did a verify routine on both drives and they came back without any errors. I now cannot mount the RAID 1 as it times out. Slightly in a panic as I do not want to loose several days of edits, how can I get things back or transfer my data off the drive so I can finish the job for my client?

You asked this earlier in the day via email support.

I note this in your SoftRAID log:
Mar 13 12:23:18 SoftRAID Driver[6794] : A disk (disk2, SoftRAID ID: 06A5972858593880) for the SoftRAID volume "External Raid 1" (disk8) was removed or stopped responding while the volume was mounted and in use.
Mar 13 12:23:18 SoftRAID Driver[6794] : A disk (disk5, SoftRAID ID: 06A597282FED6940) for the SoftRAID volume "External Raid 1" (disk8) was removed or stopped responding while the volume was mounted and in use.

It seems this event caused the volume header to be damaged, or the journal failed to replay. OSX left it in a state where the volume does not mount.

Disk Warrior is the best volume repair tool. It should easily repair and mount the volume. I trust it more than other tools.

I am ready to get it. How would I have it see a disk that is not mounted?

The volume has been "published". So Disk warrior will see it.
