vanceMM Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 hey guys, i tried to build striped raid set out of 2x500gb hdds with disk utility. the drives are both brand new. i got the raid going online but after copying some data to it, it suddenly stops copying with finder error code -36. is one of my drives faulty? i've got snow leopard 10.6.2 running on an gigabyte p55m-ud2. both drives are connected to the intel chipset sata controller in ahci mode. greets vanceMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil43 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 hey guys, i tried to build striped raid set out of 2x500gb hdds with disk utility. the drives are both brand new. i got the raid going online but after copying some data to it, it suddenly stops copying with finder error code -36. is one of my drives faulty? i've got snow leopard 10.6.2 running on an gigabyte p55m-ud2. both drives are connected to the intel chipset sata controller in ahci mode. greets vanceMM So I have the same MB, 4GB of DDR3, i7-860 and Software RAID 0 setup on two 80GB SATA drives (to debug the setup.. then going to a RAID 10 with 4 500GB drives) on SATA 0 and 1 ports on the MB. I am not seeing your problem; I have moved about 60GB of data to the pair with no indication of problems (yet). My problem is that the RAID 0 won't boot and hangs with this on the screen: boot0: GPT boot0: testing boot0: testing boot0: done I have used TonyMacX86 process to build the system and it is solid 10.6.2 at 64Bit on a single drive. With the RAID 0 in place, I have to use a CDROM to boot (not ideal)! Is your RAID bootable? If yes, please share the outline of your boot process. Anyone with experience booting OSX 10.6.2 RAID-0, please jump in. neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
