Hello tech brains trust,
My RAID5 was degraded and after removing the faulty disk, the RAID volume won't mount anymore.
I'm getting this error from macOS so I can't use or rebuild the volume.
What is the recommended solution?

HFS, use Disk Utility.
APFS, restore from backup
this is the short answer.
Was it mounting before you replaced the disk? Was it mounting when you "removed" the disk?

Interesting, if you move it back to the original Mac, does it mount?

No, it's getting the same error on 3 different Macs now.
I guess the directory is toast.

Sorry about this. Since this is an APFS volume, if it is not backed up, then use Disk Drill (cleverfiles.com) or R-Studio to recover the data. there are no APFS directory repair applications at this time.

It's not, it's HFS+.
Fired up Diskwarrior but despite it's attempt the RAID volume was destroyed.

If you open the "rescued items" folder, are most of the files there OK? Many times Disk Warrior places "subdirectories" in folders with names like folder 1, but inside there, the complete structure for that branch is OK. Just manually put it where it goes.
Let me know.
