I simply upgraded PB M1 Max to Sonoma and tried to arrange a brand new quantity for Time Machine. The quantity is a stripe of two 2TB drives on a serial ATA interface, working off Akitio converter with SoftRaid. One other set of two 2TB drives in the identical enclosure is working with Time Machine simply nice. Hassle begins after I arrange the stripe and format to HFS+, then go to Time Machine and try so as to add the brand new quantity. The brand new quantity hangs with “Making ready XXX”… dialog. I waited over six hours, no cube. The dialog has a cancel button, but it surely does nothing when pressed. Get a beep when I attempt to give up System Settings, and the one method to give up is thru Power Give up. Once I crash out and restart, the quantity reveals up as “EFI” with a tiny measurement, so it’s ineffective. I attempted deleting the quantity, re-formatting, and organising TM a number of instances, however each time it is a grasp with the progress bar caught proper within the center.
