OSX and SuperDuper - bug on raid systems

If you hapend to restore your superduper backup to a raid system you will encounter a small bug which prevents you from booting your nearly restored system.

For some reason super duper cannot choose the active device to boot from, if it's a software raid. And it result's in a hanging system at boot.

Fix

go into system preferences before you boot and set your raid as the boot device. This should make it work.

Tested on
  • raid 1 of 2 disks
  • raid 0 of 4 disks (450mb/s transfer rate)
