Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I've upgraded to mavericks but 24 hours later my Pegasus R Series Thunderbolt drive doesn't appear on my desktop. If I look in System Report it is listed under Thunderbolt devices, but it doesn't show up in the Finder window. Any clues?
My Pegasus2 has just been replaced by Promise RMA.
It still doesn't work.
On my Mac Book Pro 2010 it's not bootable and not detectable during boot. But otherwise, after booting it mounts on the Finder's Desktop and it is recognised by the Promise Utility.
But on my Late 2013 Mac Pro, since the SMC Update 2.0, it's only listed in the SystemProfiler. It's not detected by the Promise Utility and not mounted on the Finder's Desktop, and of course it's not bootable or detectable during boot.
Please Apple, do something for us, big users of the new Thunderbolt utilities.
Everything seems to be normal now. I can shut down and restart and the drive mounts properly. Problem solved!
I reinstalled Mavericks from the Recovary partition, and now the Pegasus works fine.
My last problem, when I want to boot on a Mac OS X installed partition on the Pegasus, it's stuck waiting the root device and I get the crossed circle.
I've got the same problem as arnobeck. But his solution didn't do anything for me.
Just setting up a nMP. Pegasus R4 doesn't mount. It appears in the System Report as a recognised/named device on the Thunderbolt Bus, but it just doesn't mount/appear on desktop. Promise Utility is installed but also doesn't seem to see the drives. I've just run a system re-install (Mavericks of course), and it made no difference whatsoever.
Anyone got any insights.
An update:
Tried to connect the Pegasus R4 to a mac mini, also running just-installed Mavericks. Same story as with the nMP. Thunderbolt system reports shows the drives, but it won't mount or show up in Promise Utility.
You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
Good point
Guys, perhaps this helps:
info: MacMini Server Late 2012, model 6.2, OS X 10.9.2 server, 2 x 256 SSD mirror raid with Pegasus R4, firmware 5.04.0000.36.
Problem: R4 doesn't appear on desktop, but is visible in Disk Utility and also from the terminal or carbon copy cloner. After some research i've downloaded Onyx, and changed the visibility of the volume to visible. It's visible on the desktop right now. I had an R6 with exactly the same problem (OS X bug?) After formatting hthe R6 it appeared, so that was strange. Look like the volume has the invisible-bit set.
Hope this helps.
Following this advice, I updated my firmware through the utility then updated the permissions on the drive - and everything is good for me.
Thanks 🙂
pegasus drive and mavericks
