Let me ask a different way. If I create a HFS+ volume that the host mounts, will a VM running an older guest OS like macOS 10.12 or older be able moun...
Maybe I was not clear as to what I was after regarding the Remove function. In the FAQ to Convert a RAID 1+0 to a RAID 1, the first step in the work a...

Thx for clarifying some of that. So, for the software I need to run in the guest OS, it can only operate on files located on a HFS+ volume. How wou...

The FAQ says, "Are different RAID 1+0 configurations supported with 6 or more drives? SoftRAID uses a single RAID 1+0 layout. Any even number of...
