I did this, then I initialized the disks again.
Then built a new directory. Now It loads with no errors.
 
Thanks!]]></description>

<p>This is kind of a permissions error. Follow the below to remove all installed SoftRAID components, then SoftRAID should launch. Then it will want to install the driver, and do so, as per below;</p>
<p>How to manually Remove/uninstall the SoftRAID driver and components:</p>
<p>Paste each command line below into the terminal application. You will need your normal admin password for some steps.</p>
<p>Delete the SoftRAID driver:<br />sudo rm -r /Library/Extensions/SoftRAID.kext<br />sudo touch /Library/Extensions<br />sudo kextcache -fu /</p>
<p>Now, Restart your computer</p>
<p>Remove the daemon and SoftRAID Monitor:<br />sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.softraid.softraidd.plist <br />sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.softraid.SoftRAIDMonitor.plist</p>
<p>Remove the SoftRAID application support directory:<br />sudo rm -r /Library/Application\ Support/SoftRAID</p>
<p>Remove all the SoftRAID preferences:<br />defaults delete com.softraid.SoftRAID</p>
<p>Remove preference files<br />sudo rm -r com.softraid.com</p>
<p>reset the extensions caches:<br />sudo kmutil clear-staging<br />sudo kextcache -i /</p>
<p>Restart the Mac. SoftRAID volumes will no longer mount on the desktop, but that is temporary, until you reinstall the driver.</p>
<p>When you run SoftRAID to install the driver, do not immediately restart. wait until the dialog box pops up to go to System Preferences/Security. "Allow" OWC as an Identified developer, now restart later when you quit System Preference, go to SoftRAID and restart.</p>

<p>Those messages are because the SoftRAID driver is not loading. MacOS is (helpfully) offering to initialize the disks with Disk Utility) Which is normal, when macOS does not know what to do with a disk.</p>
<p>Did you do this?<br />https://support.apple.com/en-lk/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/mac<br />Select reduced security and enable this:<br />Select the “Allow user management of kernel extensions from identified developers” checkbox to allow installation of software that uses legacy kernel extensions.</p>
<p>When you did the driver update, did you go to System Preferences / Security to "Allow" OWC as an identified developer?</p>
<p>After enabling third party extensions, reinstall the SoftRAID driver, and go to System Preferences / Security to "Allow" OWC as an identified developer</p>]]></content:encoded>
