Does anyone know anything about booting from striped RAID Firewire
400 boxes? I've got an Oxford 911 dual bay box that evidently only
supports up to the 137GB limit per drive. I've got two 120GB Maxtor
DiamondMax 9 Plus drives that will stripe under OS X 10.4.3 Disk
Utility as a single 228.5GB array that appears to work normally on
several different machines. I can install OS X Tiger onto the array,
but when I try to boot, it stops at the grey Apple screen. Verbose
Cmd-V produces nothing, but once or twice I saw a white screen with a
single error message line which of course I failed to write down, I
believe it said "Default Catch!" and perhaps "error code 300"? This
was on a early dual USB iBook, and I tried both the Option key boot
select, and the Startup Disk select. I mean to use this on a Mac Mini
that I haven't setup yet. I think it may be a open firmware issue,
perhaps the iBook is to old and the Mini will work fine? Or perhaps
an "advanced" settings issue for the Oxford bridge? Here's a posting
on another forum from someone actually booting striped RAID, although
it appears not firewire:
EDIThmmm.. Also just saw somewhere that you can't do a striped RAID
as your boot disk using OSX software RAID? I have a striped raid as
my boot drive in my current Quiksilver using a PCI card, and I like
the speed.
Any ideas? Thanks! Kris
