#DROBO MACOS VENTURA INSTALL#
#DROBO MACOS VENTURA SOFTWARE#

I make damn sure to hold another backup of the entire system now and don’t trust it as a Time Machine. So I left the thing off for about a week & mulled over buying a replacement but decided against it.įinally after about 20 days of the thing being switched off, I thought I’d just try turning the thing on to see… I even bought an NVMe drive to plug into the Drobo but that didn’t work either.įinally I removed all of the Drives and followed the steps to reset the firmware etc etc, and then I reinserted the drives. I carefully removed and reinserted each drive in turn. I did everything to get the damn thing to work again, reinstalled Drobo Dashboard and that caused additional problems. Thanks for your reply, the kernel thing has bothered me for a while as well.īut besides that, I had an incident last year where Drobo decided that ALL of the drives have failed simultaneously and decided to not mount my file system.

I'm not super concerned about kernel level module security, but if you're a bit more paranoid and that's not an option, I guess either wait to see if Drobo updates the software (they've been pretty quiet on twitter) or it might be time to hit Craigslist to get what you can for the Drobo now and replace it with a Synology or something like that. I'm not sure if my initial tests (creating a folder) actually did work because when I connected it with drobo dashboard today I had 3 'Untitled Folder's in the root, so maybe something was just caching somewhere in the finder.Īnyway, I know files are writing properly now to it, so hopefully they'll continue to do so.

I'd leave it for a while and then when I tried to create a folder on the Drobo the Finder would report an error. Just FYI previously, with DD not installed, the Drobo showed up as a generic USB drive and seemed to work (I could seem to write to it by creating new folders and then deleting them), but when I tried my CCC backup it just sat there spinning with the 'time to completion' counter going up forever. Others have done more testing with ejecting, etc, but I haven't gotten that far. Carbon Copy Cloner is now running a backup to the Drobo.Desktop icon is the Drobo not a generic USB device.Drobo Dashboard (latest version) finds my 5D (latest firmware).Rebooted back, ran Drobo Dashboard, which told me I had to now enable the kernel extension (which I did), requiring another reboot.Īfter this things seemed to work properly, at least so far (I only did this about an hour ago and haven't done any massive amounts of testing).

Followed the instructions that were given from the installed to reboot into the recovery console, go to the security utility, downgrade security to allow kernel extensions (I checked both of the boxes that were there as options to allow extensions).

Just installed the latest Drobo Dashboard on a fresh Ventura install on an m1 based Mac Studio with a Drobo 5D.
