You may have to reboot several times and during my dd attempts and then one restart here I ran First Aid on the raid disks.

Install Catalina directly to the raid0 array.ĭo not install any patches, Catalina will run on mid 2012 MacBook Pro. This time I got the option to install to the APFS RAID and the EXTERNAL DRIVE so did not follow the install to external dd back to internal method. Setup the raid array which will have its own EFI partition.ĭiskutil appleRAID create stripe Storage JHFS+ disk0 disk1Įxit the terminal and open the disk utility and format the array APFS and named as APFS RAIDĮxit the terminal and open the disk utility and format the external drive APFS if you are trying dd method.Įxit disk utility and install macOS Catalina. The internal drives were 0 & 1, 2 was the virtual raid, 3 was nested under 2, and I had the external drive were disk4 and disk5 not used in this example, and disk6 was the installer usb. Unmount the drives and destroy the gpt partitions. Hold down the option key and select the newly created flash/usb installer, you'll do this a lot.

You can get a successful install on /dev/disk2 the virtual drive 2 ways.Install to external drive, resize with diskutil apfs resizecontainer disk4s2 499400m, and dd back does work but again system updates and installs do not work without running csrutil disable from installation usb.This might be useful if you want to copy your current install and possibly you could get updates to work normally using the method I present here after doing a resize. dd if=/dev/disk5 of=/dev/disk2 bs=64k where disk5 was the synthesized external install and disk2 was the (virtual raid). Problem was I had dd'd a 250GB drive to external 2TB with dd back resulted in a 250GB on a 500GB raid0 array. I did manage to install using unix style dd and seem to remember I could do updates, install problems can be overridden with xattr -cr or running csrutil disable from installation media.I did try ccc and was not able to do updates or installs.Please forgive if I stumble around, I have 25 years using unix but this is my first Mac I got 3 weeks ago. I tried several methods since lesniakrafal did not work directly on my first attempt but after several attempts this does work.
