SoftRaid Error-Sonoma 14.2.1

Are you running SoftRAID 7.6.1?

Yes to 7.6.1 but I fixed it. Apple monitor app showed softraidd going in and out on the Disk activity. I knew something was not right. Multiple reboots no good. So I use Path Finder app to find all your little plist and hidden folders and deleted them all. Hate to say I wasn't in for another OS install. So I reinstall 7.6.1 and re-enter my license and BAM I'm in business again. Only thing I can think of it was a software conflict along the way. Sometimes it weeks before I reboot. Thanks for getting back to me. Maybe this might help someone else if there not afraid to delete things, hah.

Interesting. Did you try uninstalling SoftRAID first, via terminal? Just curious.

No I was thinking that if I could disable driver then remove core directory under library/applicationsupport that might be enough and it did stop blinking in and out on the monitoring app so I said ok let’s give a go and I’ll reinstalled. Oh but I did also delete the plst file too that was the first to be deleted. Then driver then directory. It worked great still going!

FWIW, before upgrading to the newest version of SoftRAID (7.6.1), I was experiencing issues in Sonoma release 14.2 & later in 14.2.1. Then the new SR version came out, upgraded to it. Before upgrading SoftRAID, in v 7.6, there were issues with drives going of line when plugging the laptop in their connections.

I had rebuilt the drives after recovery and all OK once. So since, there have been no issues continuing, for me. No idea if the upgrade solved anything on that front since it had been reliable through many upgrades

In Sonoma, the driver is always "set" at 7.and installing or upgrading SoftRAID cannot update the driver. So something else must have changed, but no complaints,right?

No complaints now. Just sayin' my SR installation is OK. Performs well.

Yes, to your question. I may have a flaky USB-C connection somewhere, though, which I'm working on pinning down. Three boxes (Drive enclosures) and a hub. Most OWC, BTW. Any suggestions on locating flaky cable to device connections (wiggling??)?

USB does not generally have the same disk eject as Thunderbolt, so mostly this will be a clear case of cable or hub.

How old is th4 USB hub? that is my first candidate, if it is clearly not one specific cable.
