![]() Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.Äisk /dev/sdd: 14000. mount /dev/md /path/to/mount/point.WARNING: fdisk GPT support is currently new, and therefore in an experimental phase. Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes Name : clustera.lab:0 (local to host clustera.lab) mdadm -create -verbose /dev/md0 -level=10 -raid-devices=4 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd Added 2 new unformatted drives to the Thunderbay 8-bay, for future Raid setup. Thunderbay 8-bay works fine connected via Thunderbolt 2 cable to Intel Mac. Same result: SoftRaid sees the drive, but will not mount it. Question: how to restore RAID? Whether alignment is causing RAID corruption. Moved those drives to it, connected to Max 16', via OWC Thunderbolt 3 cable. ![]() Using the softraid(4) driver, OpenBSD can do the same thing. Aside from that, if a volume format is supported in version 5, it is completely interchangeable between Macs running version 5 and version 6. Then I exit the shell and system boots fine. Do not run fsck or dump on an NFS mount, as those programs require raw disk access that NFS. That being said, as we add additional features, like APFS and RAID 6 volumes to SoftRAID version 6, those volumes will not mount with SoftRAID version 5. ![]() ![]() I am able to drop to a shell and manually attach the encrypted container with the command: bioctl -c C -l /dev/sd3a softraid0. The Issue When the system boots it obviously complains it cant find /var /usr /tmp etc. I did not restart the computer all these 4 months. The rest of the system is mounted on sd4 : /usr, /home, /tmp, /var etc. Unfortunately data backup was 2 month ago. SoftRAID is made up of three key parts: the application, the monitor, and the driver. Currently I did full by sector copy of the array. Don`t ask me.Īfter that, 4 months of work passed. After the standard procedures, I did the full array alignment of the sectors (3). Perhaps at some point years down the road Iâll change my mind on the process but for now, thereâs just no comparison to having your work internal to your machine.Centos 7. on the Ubuntu host, fdisk -l reported the partition as: HPFS/NTFS/exFAT After changing the /etc/fstab entry on Ubuntu from ntfs to exfat, all worked fine. Itâs so nice to hit the mouse pull up Lightroom classic and be working on a photo in less than 30 seconds literally. After moving the drive to an Ubuntu host, it would not mount. thats mounted is the second one, the first partition is not mounted but. Really, with us just dropping $5000 on a new iMac with 8 times the storage of the MacBook Pro we had it only makes sense in our situation to keep everything internal for quite some time then at that point I will just offload images. The server has soft-raid 1 with /boot/efi partition and UEFI subsystem is used. This is twice that Iâve tried to transition over to an external hard drive and both times has been sort of disastrous. This has worked for years with no issues and itâs just not worth the hassle and spending $1000 on a drive that makes the process slower and more complicated on top of that. I do multiple time machine back a week, plus drag and drop photos occasionally to an external drive as a copy then do a carbon copy cloner on those as well. mkfs.xfs to format the partition 8 Create a softRAID diskconfig sda primary - 20GiB - primary. Itâs just so seamless having everything internal to your machine. If /boot has no extra mount point, / is used instead. I took what was the seamless operation and turned it into a arduous task to get on my desktop and edit photos. Then select your startup volume, and Reinstall SoftRAID Driver. Sad to say but itâs headed back to Illinois on a ups truck. Go to SoftRAID disk Preferences and make sure SMART USB drivers are enabled. ![]()
