  Raid0 setup failed

  Posted by Randolph Harrison on December 25, 2006 at 2:08 am

  Hi,
  My first time setting up a raid with disc utility. I have ten drives in two enclosures. When disc utility opens, it shows 20 items…the ten drives by name and below each, the volumns. When I drag all items into the box, it shows twice as much space as there really is. When I have dragged either of the ten items into the box,(name or volumn) it shows the right amount of storage, but when I run the program, it reads “Creating Raid set failed” “Could not add a raid disk to a raid”.??? My settings are “Mac 0SX Extended (no journaling) 32k blocks”

  What am I doing wrong. Thanks for your time…and a very happy holidays to you all.

  Randy

  Try the OS10 forum on apple.com or here.

  Creating a RAID is not easy and the procedure is full of subtle gotchas. You haven’t included any information about the drives or why you think you want to create the RAID. A 20-drive RAID-0 is, umm, a questionable setup.

  Most of the threads we see about RAIDs are posted by users who are sadly misinformed. This might help:

  This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

  Hi Bogiesan,
  I am cutting a small feature on FCP. It was shot 1080p…about 3 terabytes of info. I have 2 – 5 enclusure burleys with 10 x 500 gig seagates. I’m planning on Raid0 to get the speed I need for the full res feature. I did get the raid to work with disc utility tonight…think I have it figured out. But if you have any other suggestions, they are always greatly appreciated. This is my first attempt.
  Thanks
  Randy
