I certainly hope and expect the fix will be, but lets see if beta 3 "is the one".

I think you meant 11.3 beta 2, which multiple user have also confirmed does not work. Tuesday should be a new beta, lets hope.

That will make this easiest.

Otherwise, you need to factory reset. We have instructions if you need them.

Well I can't wait until next week - I need to work off of this drive. Guess I need to spend all night downgrading.

This one is a "thank you apple, for automatically upgrading my system". Your OS has upgraded to 11.2.1, which blocks the SoftRAID driver. You need to wait now until 11.3 (or the next beta of 11.3, which fix this and may be released early next week, we hope) or go back to 11.1, perhaps using Time Machine

I agree, you should not be having these issues. the USB is a hardware issue, apparently, perhaps a kernel issue.

But the volume mounting should be separate.

Softraid 6 R48 still loads and shows the RAID0 but it will not mount when choosing to mount.

 

Still connected via C-C USB.

I can't get over how many issues I've had with SoftRAID and mounting OWC the past few months - Why is it so unreliable?! I have work I cannot access.
