                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello -- I converted my Boot drive to a SoftRaid volume.  It was not and is not a raid volume.  In the process, I believe the MacOS recovery partition was lost.  I believe I saw somewhere on the forum that a SoftRaid volume does not support the recovery partition.  Is that correct?  

I first thought about converting the volume back to an Apple volume, and then cloning the recovery partition.  Then I wondered if I could create a mirror raid with it.  The Boot drive is an SSD.  I would mirror it with a volume on a separate spinner drive that has another volume on it that is mirrored with a third drive.  

Would that work with SoftRaid lite?  I realize I would have to boot with a backup drive.  

Thanks in advance...]]></content:encoded>
