RAID

Good afternoon!
There is a montage with Mac OS X 10.8.5 (BuildVersion: 12F45) pre-installed.
RAID connected to it: Areca ARC-1223, mounted in /Volumes/RAID:
root# diskutil list | grep disk4
/dev/disk4
0: GUID_partition_scheme *21.0 TB disk4
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk4s1
2: Apple_HFS RAID 21.0 TB disk4s2
root# mount | grep RAID
/dev/disk4s2 on /Volumes/RAID (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, noowners)
root# ls -al /Volumes/ |grep RAID
[email protected] 33 _unknown _unknown 1190 Oct 6 10:24 RAID
root# diskutil info disk4s2

The problem is that the Finder does not see the RAID as a separate device connected to Mac OS X, which makes it difficult to use it: while programs are saving data to it, programs do not see it, for example, in Final Cut Pro.

The issue was resolved on my own.
Ran the command '#ls -alO /Volumes'. All data attributes of the /Volumes directory are displayed.
The 'hidden' attribute was set near the RAID.
Ran the command 'chflags nohidden /Volumes/RAID'.
Rebooting the Finder didn't work, but a fresh start of the system showed the attached RAID in the Finder's sidebar.
