I have an M1 Mac mini runningBig Sur 11.2.3.  

I've been a couple months with no access to my drives.  I really need Softraid to work.  I understand that with 11.2.3 it is now working again?  

I have Softraid 6.0.1 b53 installed - I can see my drives in the Softraid interface but they will not mount.  Also I had an error message about System Security blocked some extensions.  

Please could somebody provide simple step by sept instructions of how to get this working!  Thanks so much.

This is a Big Sur bug that is impossible for us to work around, as with this bug present the driver cannot link to the OS whatsoever.

It is the 11.3 public beta that fixes this problem. You can sign up for it. 11.3 beta 5 was released Tuesday.

Otherwise, It appears as much as 2 more weeks before Apple may release 11.3 as a final release. Just a guess.

@softraid-support Thank you for this update.  If we think 11.3 will be coming in around two week I think I will just wait.

I too am having problems. RAID won't mount. Where can I get the Big Sur 11.3 beta download?

Lets start here:

Did you do this?
https://support.apple.com/en-lk/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/mac
Select reduced security and enable this:
Select the “Allow user management of kernel extensions from identified developers” checkbox to allow installation of software that uses legacy kernel extensions.

Did you "Allow" OWC as an identified developer?

@softraid-support I don't get the screen to ""Allow" OWC as an identified developer"

It worked for me after I did the options menu after rebooting the computer - but only after I uninstalled softraid, then did a reinstall .  this allowed me to say in the security tab "trust OWC"
