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.).

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.

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?
