MOUNTING DRIVES
‘m using AVID version 5.6 (Mac) on a Dual 2.7GHz machine.
I have a mirrored raidset of two 250GB sata drives as my boot drive and two 250GB sata drives striped together as drives to digitize to.
In the dig tool it doesn’t allow me to even select RAID 02 (the striped raid set) though it does allow me to select RAID 01 (the boot drive) to dig to (RAID 02 is greyed out).
I’ve selected “mount all drives”
I’ve gone into the console and typed “alldrives”
and even checked the media creation tool to see if it was filtering out the RAID set based on resolution, which it is not.
I’ve restarted the machine also
*System profiler recognizes that the drive is configured properly and exists.Any suggestions on what I can do to get it to recognize RAID 02 so I can digitize to that instead of my boot drive?
Thanks in advance!

I’ve never used a raid set so I’m just gonna take a shot in dark here because from what you have already tried and said in your email, this doesn’t seem like the answer but it’s something you haven’t mentioned, sooooo….. How is the set striped? FAT32 OR NTFS? Could that have something to do with it?
That’s the only thing that comes to mind at the moment.

Change the drive letter on the RAID02 drive.
If you can not see it from “My Computer” then this is most likely your issue.John Kleber, ACSR Windows, Unity

I figured it out. For some reason, when using Disk Utility, it automatically sets new striped or mirrored RAID sets that are not the boot drive as READ ONLY drives. I had to go change the permissions to allow all users to read/write to the drive.
Thanks again for the response!
