Can you do a quick test?
disable istat menus, restart and see if 8.1 will launch?

The latter message is because you have not installed 8.1 components, presumably because the application has never been successly launched.

This may also be a clue that there is a problem with ownerships in your system, or something that is blocking installations of components.

Do you have in System Settinhgs, Privacy and Security, allowing apps and third party developers enabled?

You do not need to enable third party system extensions to run SoftRAID)

What if you paste this into terminal.app? (and hit enter/password)?

sudo softraidtool generatereport ~/Desktop/7.28.24.Cheule.sr_supt


Does that create a file on the desktop? if so, attach it. Or is there an error? if so, paste the responding text into your reply.

Booting from another volume isn't really an option.  There is only one boot volume (M2 internal SSD) and then RAID volumes.

 

Here is a snippet from the log:

Jul 27 14:26:59 - SoftRAID Monitor: Finished SMART test on all disks. No disks failed the SMART test.

What is it?

I have rebooted several times.  SoftRaid monitor is running.  OWC is allowed in Login Items. SoftRAID.app had full disk access.

 

Thoughts?
