I have Mac OS X Build 8K1124 and I believe that came with my Mac Pro as I've not required a Mac OS X update via Software Update.
Now, I have to honest, I'm not
entirely sure that was the
exact process. As you can appreciate I don't have another 4 drives to try this again so I'll do my best here.
It's definitely right up until the part of making the mirrors and unmounting them, that I know for sure. What I don't remeber is what I had selected to get to the RAID tab to create the Stripe Set. I believe I had one of the mirror partitions selected, that is, either "disk5" or "disk6", which brought up the RAID tab that then allowed me to create the stripe set.
I then created the set and then dragged the mirrors (I believe disk5 and disk6) into the set.
If you can't do this can you let me know how your situation deviates?
