This is a known problem. the user interface does not yet recognize APFS volumes correctly. thanks!

@softraid-support question -- I have one APFS encrypted SSD installed in the SSD slot in a ThunderBay 6 (Thunderbolt 3). It shows as an "orange" regular Apple-formatted disk within the right side of the Softraid application interface. Will upgrading to Big Sur and Softraid 6 beta cause any issues with other software (such as Chronosync) reading/writing to these APFS volumes? I'm still rocking Mojave 10.14.6 on a 2013 Mac Pro and things work fine "here".

Installing SoftRAID has zero impact on non SoftRAID disks.
Big Sur will be able to handle the upgrade to your Mojave system just fine. I recommend you run System Preferences and go to the extensions section. Click on "Obtained from" and scroll to bottom. I recommend deleting any older extensions, especially printer drivers, before you upgrade. this will minimize your upgrade headaches.

@softraid-support Where do I go in Catalina to find older extensions? Would like to be prepared whenever I do finally upgrade to Big Sur.

Thank you for confirming.

It is the same process in Big Sur, as described above.

@softraid-support I don't see any "Obtained From" option on Catalina... I'll look again I may have just missed it. I also don't see anything like printer extensions etc. that I'm pretty sure should be there form old printers... Anyway, thanks for the help, I may have cleared out old stuff a while back and just don't remember doing it.
Edit to add: I meant to also mention I don't see anything from SoftRAID in this list in System Preferences, which I assume is installed since I have SoftRAID fully installed...

Nevermind! I just figured it out. You meant System Information above, not System Preferences. Found everything you described in System Information (in the utilities folder, or you can get to it by hitting About This Mac and then System Report). It's unfortunate that there is also an extensions section in System Preferences, or I probably would have figured this out much quicker!

I am sorry for the typo/wrong reference. Glad you figured it out despite my error!

Installed beta 6 last night on my M1 MacBook Pro and everything is working great.

It didn't auto update me to the release version and time was getting close so I checked and updated manually. For some reason it still launches the last beta on reboot but with the new driver. Also it is saying I need to purchase a license and this is only a trial. What about the license I already purchased which I cannot use anymore because of all the BigSur changes? I really don't need the new features of 6.0 otherwise? I thought we would get this upgrade for free? What's the process here to get a working copy of something I already purchased which no longer works? That and having helped during the beta development in identifying issues should be worth something eh?

Launch the 6.0.1 app and if all is OK, then delete the old app.
Use the upgrade page and see what your options are. Some upgrades are free, lets see where you are.

Remember to write down your original serial number so you don't have to search for it. My serial number wasn't included in my account information but at least it's on the bottom of my ThunderBay mini.
