I'm trying to setup an SSD for bootcamp, so have to reformat to FAT32 – not sure if bootcamp assistant does it's own reformat at some point; do you know if that is messed up because of this bug as well?

Cheers

<blockquote>
This is a Disk Utility bug.

Apple introduced this bug in Disk Utility when it re-wrote Disk Utility for Sierra. It causes a crash when it works with a SoftRAID disk. We have reported this, but it is not fixed yet.

Use SoftRAID to "zero disk", 100 sectors when you want to use a disk with Disk Utility. It wipes the partition map from a disk and then it appears like a "new" disk. 

You could also "convert" to Apple format if it is a non RAID volume.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Good evening all,

I bought SR the other week and have been migrating to new disks, but got an odd problem which I can't find described in the forums.

Whenever I try to use disk utility to format a volume (Tried with USB stick, SSD in different internal slots) the app crashes and causes a reboot of the computer.

Can't for the life of me figure it out, but peeking at the OSX crash report I see "softraid" mentioned. Is this a known issue or am I doing something completely wrong?

Cheers
