OSX 10.9 - RAID Utility says RAID array is degraded but all drives are showing green

All started after error log

Drive 3:5000c5004e189ddf missing - Previous drive status was inuse

Now getting errors daily saying

Degraded RAID set RS1 - No spare available for rebuild

Looking at each drive separately all say "Assigned" except Bay 1 which says "Roaming"

After ignoring the "Drive 3:blahblah" I removed the Drive in Bay 1 that showed status as "roaming" and booted. Since the Mac still booted I was sure that drive was the issue.

I put a new drive in and selected it in RAID utility - Selected "RAID" from the Mac top menu and clicked "mark as spare" and assigned it to my RAID set.

RAID rebuild like a champ!
