I'm using SoftRAID 8.5.
I have a new Mac Studio M4 running Sequoia 15.4
I installed SoftRAID and am trying to erase a RAID volume that was created on a Mac Studio M1 using SoftRAID 8.5 without issues.
On the new M4 Mac Studio, SoftRAID starts up and I can see all of the drives (including the RAID volume - which I was able to successfully validate);
However, when I try to: umount, erase, or delete the RAID drive, I get a SoftRAID Error popup dialog:
An internal part of the SoftRAID application has stopped functioning properly. Please quit SoftRAID and relaunch it.
This message comes up only when I try to interact with the RAID volume on an OWC Thunderbolt enclosure (that was working fine on the M1).
It only happens on the RAID volume. I can unmount a disk that is not a RAID volume without an error.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling SoftRAID but it did not make a difference.
Anyone have any ideas?

Manually unnmount the volume from the desktop.
If that does not work, if it is a Time Machine volume, disable auto backups.
Else, try exempting the volume from Spotlight.
something is holding onto the volume, keeping it mounted.

Thanks. I did a force eject and was able to erase the volume. ( I had not enabled the disk for backups yet on this Mac, it was also already disabled from Spotlight searching.).
