It depends on your problem's cause. Install beta 48, but you need to remove any obsolete extensions if any, before the SoftRAID driver will load. Start with the ones I identified and reset the cache and lets see if it works!

I will answer all queries.

 

You have some drivers that may be impacting this, Big Sur does not load any extensions, when there are any incompatible drivers, it turns out.

There are a few that I see:

Soundflower

Hp printer drivers.

Go to /Library/Extensions

Delete the extensions mentioned.

Ru the terminal.app and paste these in:

sudo kmutil clear-staging

followed by:

sudo kextcache -i /

Then restart.

Run SoftRAID, select your startup volume, then "reinstall SoftRAID driver"

That should work.

Same problem.

 

SoftRAID tech support file, attached.

I attempted to mount, etc. No luck.

More ideas?

Go back to B43 until we get b48 out. Running the older 6.0 beta 43 version will fix this. Let me know if not.

Steps: Run SoftRAID 6.0 B47.
Uninstall SoftRAID (utilities menu)
Restart
Run B43 and install the driver.

Responding without starting a new thread. . .

My installed ThunderBay system (4x1TB HD), divided between two volumes, after an update to my Parallels Win10 machine, will no longer mount (it is used on the Mac BigSur M1 side, only).

SoftRAID tech support file, attached.  I'm using SoftRAID v. 6.0 b47  Driver v. 6.0 b47

148

 

The drive is not visible in Finder.  The SoftRAID app shows "unmounted".  After applying the "mount" command, it pauses for a bit, then returns to the "unmounted" state.

I have not attempted to address this through Terminal.

Ideas?

The RAID connected right away, but after I installed SoftRAID XT things went south for this unit and my older 16TB Thunderbay 4 with TB2 connection.

My system:

  • Catalina 10.15.2
  • MacBookPro16,1
  • 8-Core Intel Core i9 2.3 GHz

After licensing and disabling the security the drives no longer mounted, including a 16TB Thunderbay 4 with TB2. The drives appear within SoftRAID and Disk Utility but neither my older RAID or the new one mount.

Any ideas as to why they are not mounting? 

Thanks!
