Do not try encryption. Do not try RAID 6. email notifications are not working in 6.0, but you can revert back to 5.8.3 after creating an APFS volume. (Converting is not available)]]></content:encoded>

Looking forward to hearing what those issues are. Three days to the reveal! Good luck.

And I'd be happy to beta test SoftRAID 6 since my RAID (OWC 4M2) is always backed up.]]></content:encoded>

Does this statement imply that SoftRAID 6 will not be released until after MacOS 10.16 is released?

Any updates on the timeline would be appreciated. I have just purchased a Thunderbay 8 enclosure and was hoping to set it up in a RAID 6 configuration.]]></content:encoded>

In your case, you can use one disk as Apple APFS format as a backup, and either use a 3 disk RAID for data, or use both/either time machine or Carbon Copy Cloner image backups on the RAID volume, depending on how much space you need in terms of files. (data)
</blockquote>

Does that mean there will not be a SoftRAID6 for 10.15? You know, a lot people do not run the latest greatest operating system. I am typically a year behind the Apple update agenda, so 10.15 support with SoftRAID6 would be fine by me.]]></content:encoded>

I understand Apple doesn't allow booting from a RAID but since I have a 4-slot RAID, I could still reserve a single drive for backing up/booting the system drive and stripe the other three drives to use as a backup for my externally mounted data disk. Of course, these need to be formatted as APFS otherwise I can't back up my other disks to the RAID.]]></content:encoded>
