The disk is missing, so you cannot rebuild with a missing disk. SoftRAID kept your volume alive when the disk failed, so it worked correctly.

 

However, when the system crashed another disk went out of sync. So you cannot add a new disk to the volume.

You need to (I know this is not what you want to hear) backup your Thunderbay, add the new disk to your system and create a new RAID 5 volume, then restore.
