I have uninstalled and reinstalled version 7, but I couldn't solve the issue.

Thanks.

Now there are only three disks in the list...AND, I cant seem to certify the other three. Where is the missing disk and how do I get it back?

I have to reboot, then pause for a minute or so to wait for all the drive activity to stop before logging in. Is there some sort of driver adjustment I can make to ensure the login window doesn't come up until the drives are ready? I remember having a similar issue on a hardware RAID system that was correctable by changing a parameter. 

I'm using a Mac Studio with macOS 14.5 and SoftRAID 8.0 on a Thunderbay 8

"Degraded - missing disk" error https://forums.softraid.com/sonoma-issue/help-degraded-missing-disk-error/ Thu, 06 Jun 2024 12:26:59 +0000 Hello, I was happy to see Softraid had a major update to address the Apple Silicon compatibility issues. I tried to use your program 2~ years ago but had to give up due to compatibility issues.

I installed version 8.0 on my Mac Mini M2 running Sonoma 14.5 (23F79), setting up a Raid 5 array. After I got all my files copied (which took 5+ days), I soon got an error saying one disk was missing. I verified the disk, which took another 1-2 days, got no errors. Nevertheless, one of my disks seems to be offline so I should assume it's crashed/failed, right? 

So, what is the process for replacing the disk? Looking at the lights on my drive, HDD 1, 3 & 4 are all blinking normally, but HDD2 is off. The identifiers I'm being shown, DISK10, DISK11, don't seem to be terribly useful. I see HDD2 is the slot that seems to be failed, is it safe for me to open the trap and pull that disk out? I assume I should turn off the computer first, so it's dismounted, when if I put a new disk in it will format the new disk and incorporate it into the RAID 5 set?

Please help!

Why can't I choose to keep it as APFS? Is this just a bug?

After dragging the SoftRAID 8 app into my Applications folder and running the app, system keeps showing this error message:

"An internal part of the SoftRAID Monitor has stopped functioning properly. Please quit SoftRAID and relaunch it."

Relaunching the app (and rebooting the Mac) multiple times does nothing. Error message continues to appear.

It´s running with Macbook M2 on Sonoma OS. Actually it´s working fine, but a few times after restart the first HDD is not getting recognized/found. I´m aware that i have two topics not perfect in my setup. The first think is, that i have also Bitdefender installed. The second topic is that I have two parirs of HDD´s. 2x Iron-Wolf 4GB Model: ST8000VN004 and 2x Model: ST8000VN006. That was because i was having already two and didn´t get the same ones. When the HDD´s are online everything works fine, therefore I expect issues withb bitdefender would appear differernt than missing one HDD. Do you have a guess or knowledge if the issue may be caused by the two different types of HDD or may it be another issue?
