@softraid-support I see. So removing a drive allows the system to get over that hump without being overloaded. Glad it keeps working on the subsequent boot as well.

On my searches the upgrade the Ventura had come up as one of the solutions. While I am interested I am also hesitant because of the new potential bugs that it might bring. I will need to look at the known issues first and get back to ya.

Thanks for all your help so far!

I think what is going on is on a RAID 5 volume, there are many small I/O's sent to the system (SoftRAID is multi threaded to help performance) and it is causing the DART controller to crash. My theory.

So removing a drive reduces that load, and often avoids the issue. its weird.

I am about to start asking users, so you are first. if you are interested in trying the MacOS 13.1 beta 3, does that fix this?

@softraid-support It worked! I totally thought I installed the driver when I installed the SoftRAID 6.3 but I didn't. Sorry about that.

Booted up twice now and no kernel panic so far.

I have a question just out of curiosity: what did pulling out one of the drives do?

Best

@sgoto

Did you "Allow" OWC as an identified developer when you installed the driver?

You can "reinstall SoftRAID driver", then allow OWC again.

Attach a SoftRAID support file. (Utilities menu)

@softraid-support So I just tried exactly what you said and logged in with no problems. I also tried shutting down, inserted one of the hard drive back in and logged back in, no errors again!

However it seems like my drives aren't mounting. What is going on here?

@sgoto

Please try this yes. Just pull it one inch.

@softraid-support would you mind clarifying what you just said?

Do you want me to remove one of the 4 drives from the enclosure and then connect it to the computer?

Thanks

@sgoto

One would be enough. But yes, this is the DART IO controller that is crashing.

DOes it still panic if you remove one disk from the enclosure when connecting it?
