this is pretty much a perma-link

Thanks!! Will save for your SoftRAID product, in that case.

Where is your 6.1 beta located?

We did do something on our end, which is to force manually load the driver every restart. Should help. We are essentially running the kmutil load command at startup, which is in the current 6.1 beta. It won't help for other third party drivers, but seems to work most of the time for SoftRAID. But we are waiting word for an actual fix from Apple.

Most of the time, it seems with the latest MacOS release (Big Sur 11.6), as stated. I'm still running 6.0.5. Will have to get the 6.1 beta installed.

I don't think it is fixed. I have had cases where the SoftRAID driver was working fine, then an innocuous driver was loaded (anything from Parallels, DVD drivers or video drivers) and all the third party drivers stopped loading. Maybe they tried, but I do not thinks this is fixed.

thanks!

Hope springs eternal. 😎 So, nothing done on your end? Maybe not on Apple's end either, then. Given your comments, change my comment to hopeful for a fix. I'm simply reporting that it's loading the RAID volumes at Startup in conditions where it didn't before, as in Monterey (where no update to Parallels has yet been applied). Maybe you're right about Parallels, then. There was a new release that I just installed. I haven't installed anything else lately that I am aware of.

Thanks for your comments. Hopeful... 😦

@henry-in-florida 11.5.1 fixed this for a fortnight then it reverted back to not being able to mount.

11.6 fixed the issue. Hope you've seen the fix as well.

Finally! No longer an issue for me in Big Sur 11.6!! Has never been an issue in Monterey Beta versions and now fixed in the release 11.6(20G165). Guess the wrangling and finger pointing with Apple is finally at an end, eh? Well, congrats guys.
