If I boot up, then immediately login, all the volumes in one of the RAIDs don't mount. 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

Is this a new enclosure?
Can you attach a SoftRAID tech support file?

Attached. I've had this Thunderbay 8 for 14 months.
I see the same problem when I force the computer to sleep before bedtime. It wakes sometime during the night with I/O errors, but then everything runs fine when the volumes finally mount. SoftRAID shows I/O error flags next to the volumes, but they Validate without errors. The drives are WD Red Pro drives that I've used for years without problems.
If I shutdown, then after powering up I pause before I login, there's no problems.

I did a clean install of the system, then used Migration Assistant on my former system. This seems to have fixed the problem.

Good to know. Its frustrating to have to do clean installs for "obvious disk issues", or "SoftRAID issues", but that is often the case. There are many sleep related issues in MacOS. Since it controls sleep, not SoftRAID's driver, fixing the MacOS install is the only option.
thanks for trying it and glad it works.
