Yes, the application needs it to do things like unmount volumes, etc. Some application tasks could fail if the application does not have full disk access.

@softraid-support Should Softraid be granted full disk access ? I just checked on my system and it isn't, although everything seems to run fine.

@joshblive

Can you check in System Settings, Privacy, if the SoftRAID Application is listed in "full disk access"?

Hi @softraid-support - I'm getting very similar errors and cannot initialize the disk.

Here is the tech file.

Thanks

I saw the the event in the support file.

They do erase in disk utility?

Lets try in terminal:

unmount the volume, then run this command. Make sure disk4 is still one of the disks.

sudo softraidtool disk disk4 initialize

If it fails, paste the response in your reply.

No luck - can I email you a screen recording (63 MB) so you can see if I'm making an error I'm not realizing?

@dsnake10

I do not see why. If you erase one with Disk Utility as HFS, then go to SoftRAID, can you initialize it now?

@dsnake10

Attach a SoftRAID tech support file, and I can look.

Sorry - didn't realize they were different things.

I tried unmounting the drives in disk utility, then I quit disk utility. I am still getting the same error message. Does that mean the driver is not loaded? If so how can I load it? The bottom right corner of my SoftRAID says Driver v 7.5...

Thank you!
