"Mirrored Apple RAID and SoftRAID cause kernel panics under 10.6 and 10.6.1 server."
What this means is that the Mac Mini Server is not really all that useful until they resolve this issue, and anyone updating their software RAID-based servers should hold off as well.
Further research indicates that some people feel that it has to do with custom block sizes. I was unable to ask Tom whether his experience with this bug was the result of custom block sizes or not, although I doubt he would have done so.
This probably affects Snow Leopard client as well.
We got an update from Mark James last night:
ReplyDelete"Its a bug in the kernel that will be fixed in 10.6.2. we have a solution for it in the 4.0 beta, which will work for you."
So, 10.6.2 will fix the Apple Mirror & the SoftRAID mirror, or there's always the SR4 beta.
