Finally this morning I deleted the RAID, and I am using the unit with 4 independent SSDs. Looks is working Ok. I lost a little bit of speed but as I need random access to very small files is not a big loss.

When it hangs, on restart, "report to Apple" and save that text into text edit. "Make plain text" then save the file and attach it, so I can look at the cause of the hang. Seems like a watchdog timer issue.

I can't turn off the computer. Only works if I unmount my Thunderbay mini. Mac Studio Ultra. This problem doesn't happen in my old iMac.

 

Solutions?

I think we know by now that Apple does hardly fix anything soon. The constant issue with OWC Raids, Soft Raid and Apple are a might pain

I think Apple engineering really likes our work. But they have no time to address serious issues, is my guess. macOS has become very cranky over the years and every new release adds new issues, not just for us, but in the kernel, file system, user interface, security mechanisms. It would be my dream to have a year off from new UI stuff, and just fix the hundreds of macOS bugs.

a non inclusive list of issues I would love Apple to fix are:

M1 kernel panic on RAID 5

APFS encrypted volumes kernel panic

Disk Ejects in Thunderbolt  (generic)

disk renumbering during sleep (volume locking is SoftRAID's way to prevent data corruption)

Disks constantly waking from sleep, and going to sleep during work (not SoftRAID related)

Time Machine keeps volumes open, even after unmount

Support for TRIM over USB in default macOS

Supporting SoftRAID will be so much easier, once/if these are fixed!

As I said time for Hardware raids Apple does not like the software raids it seems

This is the DART controller panic triggering that, then. OK. thanks. Sorry you are hit with this. As you probably know, Apple is sitting on a full reproducible system of this, since nearly a year.

to be honest the eject issue has not come up again so I think that was another apple issues whichg they seems to fix, how is the locking of OWC going has this been addressed by apple
