No, unfortunately. Your SoftRAID Monitor must be crashing, as the beta should not be alerting daily.'What if you change the preferences for updates to "Never", just to see if it makes a difference?
not seeing any crashes in the logs...
Look in Console for "diagnostic reports" and browse looking for SoftRAID Monitor crashes. They won't be in the System Log.
Yep, nothing there either...
OK, not sure what I can offer then. I will try to find where to look.
just happened again...
Problem is I cannot replicate this in house yet. Whatever is broken in your case, does not happen on a clean system (which is what I test on). I need to reproduce it, so it can be fixed.
Just popped up again and I have been actively using the machine the whole time including audio actually playing from the external raid drive... no hiccups in the audio and SoftRaid didn't crash or anything. It just seems like you have a timer in your code that triggers the pop-up daily. If you think this isn't the case probably there is a branch of logic someone forgot to remove. Maybe just do a full deep dive code review of the popup code and you will find the weird edge case.
It does look like the monitor initiated a SMART test on all disks when it happened. Is the popup logic in the callback of this test somehow?
This is exactly what I would expect if either the driver or Monitor crashed.
Can you check console.app for any SoftRAID Monitor, or SoftRAID kext crashes?
(Probably in one of the diagnostic reports folders)
@softraid-support yeah nothing in the console about SoftRaid or anything even close. is the smart scan triggered on a timer ever?
The SMART test is every 24 hours, or when the application is launched. It should not be checked any more frequent than that.
I will check if we can release a debug version for you to help investigate.
@softraid-support ok then it might be working because it seems to happen every day at least once. I thought you were planning to reduce it.
@softraid-supportok well that explains it then... i thought you had
