The order of drives does not matter. Just carefully remove and replace into the new unit. Note that NVMe blades are more fragile than they appear and ...
@smayer97 "So, does this mean the Remove function cannot be used for the same purpose on a RAID 1+0? Does the same apply to a RAID 4 to remove the par...
@smayer97 RAID 10 cannot withstand the "wrong two" drives failing at once. If your secondary disks are all in a second enclosure,then as many as ha...
@smayer97 I have not used a VM on an older macos, but it appears that if the VM can share the files, it inteprets that for you. You just do not have "...
@smayer97 RAID is not backup. If your data is important, you need at least two extra copies, one off site. Data is Ephemeral, there are so many way...
You will not get the increased capacity until all disks are replaced, and then you can use the "resize volume" command in SoftRAID.
@mochidust Manually unmount your volume first, and try again. the disks were never attached to the existing volume, my guess is the volume could not b...
@smayer97 No. The guest OS does not directly access your internal APFS disk at all. What actually happens in a VM When you run a macOS VM: ...
@smayer97 Most users would just create the new volume and restore from backups. But if anyone ever needs this, you have documented it for them.
@smayer97 "Here too it is assumed that the R1 only has two drives. I suggest removing the reference to only two drives. "Its what 90% of RAID 1+0 u...
@smayer97 "Can you elaborate on the 2nd and 3rd bullet, as I am unclear what the flexibility is, especially if the "layouts are not exposed as sepa...
@smayer97 "This seems clear but just to make sure I understand, when a drive fails, the remaining mirrored slices actually continue to be updated?Does...
@smayer97 No, we do not currently support converting Apple RAID, and will not, as there is no consistent way to implement an Apple RAID 1+0. The Apple...
@smayer97 No you are confusing internal vs external volumes. Older MacOS systems may not support APFS. Hence the VM cannot read those SoftRAID volumes...
@smayer97 Yes, because they are essentially mounting them as "network" devices, not native devices. And, From SoftRAID 5 forward, all SoftRAID volu...
