Mac Pro RAID1 problem I've been running two 1TB internal discs as a RAID1 array. It suddenly stopped working. In disc Utility one of the discs is 'Missing' (presumably died) the second disc is marked as 'Online' but I cant access it. I've tried to 'Repair' it but it fails and I get the message "com.apple.StorageKit error 118". I'm bothered about getting the RAID up and running but I do need to at least retreive the Data. I did consider Disk Warrior but I'm not sure if it would be any help in this situation. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks John. Spec: MacPro 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad Core (2010) running Mojave 10.14.6

RAID not readable after 10.12 - 10.13 upgrade Hi all We have a Mac Pro 5,1 (2010-2012) that is our primary workhorse and the four internal drive bays are configured as a RAID. Recently, due to pressure from clients who supply Adobe-related files for us to work with, we were forced to update our Adobe applications and this required an update from 10.12 (Sierra) to 10.13 (High Sierra). We did so, somewhat begrudgingly, only to be greeted after reboot by four dialogues boxes informing us that each of our RAID set were 'unreadable by with computer', or whatever it actually says. Whatever the precise message, we have a lot of information on that RAID that we'd really like to see right now and we are panicking just a little. Has anyone else struck this situation and does anyone have a 'simple' solution? TIA!

Attempting RAID 10 using Disk Utility and Terminal. Fails with Error: -69886: Invalid request. Then mounts larger than expected. I tried to follow both Lifewire Disk Utility steps and SS64 terminal commands. Each time, tweaking various things, I keep getting Error: -69886: Invalid request One OWC 4-bay enclosure. Four identical Seagate 8TB drives. I can create the two mirror pairs either in APFS or JHFS+ just fine. But I cannot then additionally figure out the happy path successful commands to get the striping of these two pairs for form one overall RAID drive set. MacOS Ventura. Mac Studio. One sample failed attempt. diskutil createRAID stripe OWC8TB JHFS+ disk4 disk7 Started RAID operation disk4 is already part of a RAID set Error: -69886: Invalid request Second sample failed attempt. diskutil createRAID stripe OWC8TB JHFS+ disk5 disk8 Started RAID operation disk5 is already part of a RAID set Error: -69886: Invalid request As I was typing this I tried ONE more thing. NOT use the 'disk' nomenclature' but instead use the mounted mirror drive name. And voila it worked. But shouldn't a striped array of TWO 8TB mirrored drives result in still/only 8TB? This shows 16TB mounted. Is it not then in fact a functioning RAID 10 (aka 1+0) drive? diskutil createRAID stripe OWC8TB JHFS+ owc1 owc2 Started RAID operation Unmounting proposed new member disk7 Unmounting proposed new member disk9 Creating a RAID set Bringing the RAID partitions online Waiting for the new RAID to spin up "E2FD5FC1-8EE0-4F97-85F6-79D956A00BED" Initialized /dev/rdisk10 as a 15 TB case-insensitive HFS Plus volume with a 524288k journal Mounting disk

You are missing too many important details in order for anyone to assist you.

What RAID and what are you using to repair it? Hardware or software RAID? Make & model of the RAID device?

What happens when you try to repair it? Error messages?

What is the file system?

What version of macOS?

What other problem are you having with the RAID where you need to repair it in the first place?
