I upgraded my SoftRAID to 7.6, rebooted Mac (Sonoma 14.1.1) and upon login, I am greeted with this error screen.

After Launching SoftRAID, I see that the unmounted Volume has following status: "degraded and missing disk." Weirdly it also shows "no errors".

Β Investigating further, one of my disks (no errors) is no longer connected to the Volume:

The unfortunate part is, I have no backup of the Volume for the past few weeks, so I cannot just simply Delete Volume or Initialize to start over.

Is there a way to "reconnect" this disconnected disk without losing access to everything? Right now, the Volume doesn't even mount at all so I can't even copy whatever is left out. 😥Β 

Help!!! 😪

Sorry, this needs manual fixing, probably next week. Can you attach a SoftRAID tech support file?

Phew, this sounds like my Volume is not lost, despite some manual work required.

Ok, I will proceed to generating the Tech Support file. Is it safe to post the file here, I hope only SoftRAID Support has access to it right?

Not yet, it is in a queue to be looked at.

@softraid-support I totally understand if there are other support requests before mine, but is it possible at least to get a "sign of hope" that my data is recoverable? Or should I start preparing for the worst?

I have lost access to my entire volume for a week now, and it is starting to reach critical level with work due dates. Thanks for your consideration.

One of our engineers does this in their spare time, so it can take time sometimes. Glad it worked!
