![]() ![]() From what I’ve read on the web, the new Macs using Apple silicon won’t even load 3rd party drivers unless you disable Secure Boot. Disabling Secure BootĪs much as we find Apple’s implementation of Secure Boot cumbersome, it is here to stay. This new release of SoftRAID includes a code that avoids the conditions where this bug occurs. This is a bug that was introduced in macOS 10.15. It turns out that if you are using a hard disk that uses 4 KB sectors (known as a 4Kn HDD) and the disk is in a USB enclosure (USB 3 or USB-C), then you will get a kernel panic every time you create a new volume. ![]() Our main support engineer, Mark, worked for several days to isolate the conditions which cause this problem. Several months ago, we were contacted by a user who was always getting a kernel panic when creating a SoftRAID volume. Version 5.8.4 adds two new features of this type. We are always trying to prevent you from encountering problems with SoftRAID volumes. Why should you have to go hunting on the web for this information when we could just email it to you when we discover it? This latest release of SoftRAID allows you to subscribe to both versions of the SoftRAID News email. Investigating & Preventing Kernel Panics in the 2019 Mac Proīoth of these blog posts include workarounds to prevent these specific problems from occurring.Why Is My Mac Hanging When Copying Files After Upgrading to macOS Catalina 10.15.4?.Two examples of critical problems that we have covered in the Rocket Yard blog over the past several months are: We know it would be better to alert you via email when we discover critical problems instead of hoping you stumble upon our blog posts – which we publish whenever we find a problem with macOS that affects SoftRAID volumes. We will be sending out two types of email – a newsletter with tips about SoftRAID features you may not know about (and ways to take advantage of them) and a Critical Alert email.

It’s exciting because we finally get to release what our team has spent so many months designing, coding, and testing. This is not because we are still changing the code up until the last minute, I usually freeze the code (stop making changes) a week before we ship as this gives us plenty of time for final testing. The night before a software release is always an exciting time. ![]()
