I'm running Mohave and SoftRAID 5.8.1 but have been receiving this [bogus] error on High Sierra and the previous version of SoftRAID.

When I boot my machine and login, I get an error that one of my 2 RAID 1 volumes (Memories) is missing a secondary disk. The error goes away and the SoftRAID icon in the Menu Bar turns from yellow to blue. However the volume status in SoftRAID still shows that it's missing the secondary disk. See screenshot.

You may have a "missing" disk in the counter, if you had replaced on and did not reset the counter. Try "remove missing secondary disks". That should clear the counter. Note that if you do have an off site disk, it will be de-linked to the volume.

I did need to replace a failed disk a while back. The RAID 1 array had 2 volumes and what I must have done is removed the failed secondary from the 1st volume but not from the 2nd volume. So I just removed the missing secondary from the 2nd volume and I'm not longer seeing the error. Thanks.
