Trying to plan out my ventura/softraid7 upgrade and the known issues webpage isn't very clear about the state of the resize issue that stopped working after 6.0.5.
Is this now working in 7.x?
No it is not working yet, we should have this fixed in 7.1 SoftRAID.
Is there a release date for 7.1? I am having the same issue with needing to resize my volume after replacing my 4x8TB drives with 4x18TB drives. I hope that this is an urgent priority for the SoftRAID team as this seems to be an issue stemming over a year now. I am on Ventura, so I cannot use any version of SoftRAID 6 to fix this issue.
End of march is the current target to get this out.
Its possible we will have a beta fix for this well before that.
I have just upgraded all 4 disks in my ThunderBay-4 enclosure from 6TB drives to 14TB drives.
Took a bit of a gamble in anticipation of the announced fix for volume resizing on Ventura (or anything after Big Sur) by end of March.
Could you please let me know if a fix for volume resizing is still on track to be released within the next week or so?
Cheers!
Its 50-50 at this point whether it makes it in. the next update be be around when Apple releases Ventura 13.3, probably a few days to a week afterwards.
Thanks @softraid-support
Still sounds like a fix is a matter of weeks and not months away.
Hi @softraid-support, just downloaded v7.5. Looks like the fix hasn't made it into this version. Guess I'm staying patient for a while longer. Once you can confirm a fix will make it, probably not only me will appreciate a quick update. Thanks.
We are hoping to get this fix into a beta, before 13.4 is released. It is actively being worked on.

resize is not fixed yet, sorry. It will likely go into a beta version, but it did not make it into 7.5, and I am guessing at least a month before we can have anything. There are driver/MacOS kernel issues that have taken priority, unfortunately. Its something that needs to be fixed, it is on our priority bug fix list.
We apologize for not getting this fixed, it is still in the queue, however.
Apologies if this is a stupid question, but will the forthcoming resizing functionality apply to both HFS Extended and APFS RAIDs? And is my understanding correct that a significant part of the delay was due to the relevant functionality not being available in Xcode and that that has now been resolved? Thank you kindly for your time and consideration.
Yes we intend to apply the fix to both APFS and HFS. that is partly why it is taking some time.
This is the same as the "convert" code to convert a volume from Apple to SoftRAID, etc, it needs to support APFS also.
Is the resize issue fixed in 7.6? From the release notes and the contextual menu, it looks like resize functionality now works (as does the "convert" code mentioned above).
