3/10/2023 0 Comments Softraid beta![]() I very much want to see SoftRAID succeed. For now I will limp along hoping the next release at least fixes all the easiest problems/cases. SoftRAID is a great product and I hope these problems can be resolved soon. I do see new releases of SoftRAID with improvements and I do recognize that Apple puts their customers through too much for often a very small return and a return that is more about the Apple Ecosystem than it is customer satisfaction. The good thing is that this is agreed to be a problem so as long as it is pursued there is hope it can be resolved. If you presume an average SSD read/write speed of 500MB/s and you would have the following Raid 0 maximum limits as expectations. I don't know that this is happening, but I am concerned. When SoftRAID was independent of OWC it was a product that served its' users not a particular storage vendor. I hope this is not going to be the future, but there are a lot of examples of this. If SoftRAID is going to support only OWC products it is a dead product. I almost have the sense that SoftRAID tech support is blaming the SSDs. There is problem where a RAID 0 disk set doesn't realize consistent throughput enhancements when disks are added to the array. I feel as I am begging to see this already. Having said this, I am concerned with SoftRAID now as the OWC purchase or any purchase of a product often leads to its' decline and demise. The SoftRAID 6 release is welcome, even though the promised RAID 6 is still a promise. I like the product and want to see it excel. Then I rebooted, triggered PXE again, and kickstart + preseed finished installing.Rating: 2/5 SoftRAID 6.2 Needs Improvement DecemI am a long time SoftRAID user. Then I zeroed the superblock on all my disks using dd. Hit alt+f2 while the install is failed, hit enter to get a prompt. Probably my disks were used in a RAID test before I got them. Next I found this page, which suggested I might have a software raid superblock. Then I tried manually formatting a partition, and it would not let me, saying it was in use.īased on that, I found a page saying I might have an lvm volume I need to remove. If I used preseed to force skipping of the iSCSI menu, I would instead get the same error as you (no root file system defined). If I used kickstart without preseed, it would prompt me for an iSCSI target server. And I have the solution that worked for me. I had this problem, but maybe not the same as you. Raid / -level=1 -device=md1 -fstype ext3 raid.02 raid.04 Raid swap -level=1 -device=md0 -fstype swap raid.01 raid.03 ![]() Here is the partitioning part of my kickstart file: ![]() I can`t go back to make any changes! (And I don`t want to thats why I`d like to do automated partitioning.) Me too the same error "No Root File System Defined" error occurs with a red background and a simple continue button on it which gives back the same error. so yes the above works when manually create a RAID device but with automated kickstart install RAID partitioning fails. Then go to raid#2 (swap partition on both drives) and set it to "swap space" Go back, on the partitions list, choose raid#1 (main partition on both drives) and hit enter, select / as the mount point and ext4 (or 3) as the fs, then bootable flag to yes (if it asks)
