Do a reinstall. Everyone has confirmed this is fixed in beta 2. One user reported some component was not installed and he had to reinstall beta 2

I am sure we will be filing a detailed bug report before end of week.

Hi, I see that macOS Tahoe 26.4 Developer Beta 2 has been released.

Has there been any news re a fix?

Time machine. But I do not have instructions handy.

Its best to back the beta out, go back to 26.3, or do not use SoftRAID on this macOS version until Apple fixes it in a week or two.

I did confirm this "Cannot repair the volume " ", affects Apple formatted drives also, so it is a "global" bug.

In doing some research, yes your workaround appears valid, but I do not recommend it.

Its best to back the beta out, go back to 26.3, or do not use SoftRAID on this macOS version until Apple fixes it in a week or two.

It appears that Apple engineers left behind a debugging tool in .4 beta 1, and so will be fixed in beta 2.


Manually working around it as you are requires modifying protected system files - Placing files in /System/Library/ breaks Apple's security system seal, and could cause:
Future OS updates to fail
System instability
Security vulnerabilities

So patience is the best virtue here.

I am sure we will be filing a detailed bug report before end of week.
