Com apple diskmanagement disenter ошибка 119930874

Same issue with my drives…. I had an external drive for my pictures and I could not access it. I tried saving it through terminal with all the commands i could think of…. Nothing really helped. In the end i capitulated and bought „Disk Drill“ to access my files.

Then i loaded all the pics on a new external drive and about two weeks later the same error happened.
I am afraid, Monterey has a weird bug.

FIXED — NOW I’M GOING ***** 😁

FIXED … by doing WHAT?
Please post a solution to this problem if you could fix it.

I had this happen 4 TB WD My Passport on Big Sur 11.6.2, the 1 TB partition for my Time Machine didn’t come up and mounting gave the «disenter error 49218». Here’s what worked for me (at least for now):

«Try to mount the disk, and switch to Terminal and write sudo pkill -f fsck«

Attempted to run First-Aid on that partition.

Restarted the computer.

Time machine came back after that. No clue which of the steps may have actually fixed it. Will find out the next time that this inevitably occurs.

This worked for me too:

I agree it’s a weird bug with Monterey. I ran into the same issue with my external Samsung 4TB SSD. After I upgra ded to Monterey my drive immediately started acting weird and then I received this message «Could not mount “4TB SSD”. (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49218.)» I’ve tried all kinds of software including Terminal to force mount and I’m still unable to mount this external drive. I have over a decades worth of family photos in iPhoto on this drive most likely all lost. Thanks MacOS Monterey!

I unplugged a 1TB SSD without ejecting it first, and when I connected it again sometime later, I couldn’t even see it in Finder.

I opened Disk Utility and run first aid on it and got an error (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error -119930878.) but after I closed it, it continued running and some minutes later, the drive was fixed and I was able to see it in Finder and use it again.

I’ll remember to eject the drive properly next time before unplugging it.

I unplugged an external HDD without ejecting it first, then had error 49218 when trying to mount it. Surprisingly First Aid didn’t show any errors, but still I couldn’t mount it. Restarting the MacBook helped, it just automounted. I’m on Big Sur.

Restarting the MacBook worked

Ok, I had this same issue and found a fix. However, it’s ONLY a fix if you do not care about what is on the external HDD. Open Disk Utility and hit Partition. Change it to APFS (Encrypted). I hit «Apply» and it warned me that all data would be deleted. I said ok. It wiped it and then it automatically mounted and all is well now.

Mine was previously on APFS (case sensitive) and I had all of the same issues you all have had and none of the suggested fixes did not work.

FIXED!
I’ve had trouble accessing my external LaCie time machine drive for a while now and nothing I had found online has helped. Couldn’t mount it, erase it or use first aid on it. Would get failed messages non stop.
The only solution that has helped I have, fortunately, found was by this guy on youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9y1oRYlmh0. Formatting the container within the disk utility to a MAC OS Journaled had worked and I was able to access the partition anew and then restart the time machine.

I am no developer, but was reading these forums and thought of posting this in order to, maybe, help some of you.

I’m having the same problem with my MacBook Pro M1 max. I have a 2TB external drive I was using with Time machine backups that I can No longer mount. Even disk utility won’t allow the disk to be erased and reformatted. I would have thought that apple would have the solution by now seeing how so many have encountered this problem. can someone please help????

I’ve seen all the post on how to regain access to the disk, but how do I do that without erasing and loosing all my Time machine backups?

Same Problem here, it happened after the MacOS firmware update to 12.4… I use an external WD hard drive, APFS (encrypted). Already conacted the Apple and WD support, they couldn’t help me

I’m having the same issue…

I have the same problem continuously ever since I upgraded to big Sur. I am currently on Version 11.4. I have tried everything including running First Aid on all my external drives (I have 3 one of them is an SSD), but nothing helps. It is so annoying with in the middle of my work, two drives drop off! These days it happens 3 or 4 times a day!

SOme one suggested that I take Energy Saver off ‘Default’ for a little while it seemed to work now back to the same annoying Big Sur performance!

I have ALSO been having Drive and disk issues. This new bigSur MacOS is not as great as previous builds. Some things are nice and cool about it, others are absolutely terrible, like the finder window and toolbar space…. But back to the drives…. Mac OS Big Sur will trip on my external ExFat drives most notably after they are mounted on my windows 10 pc. I could also tie the issue to windows except that my older macbook running high sierra does not present those issues. Can you guys Downgrade/upgrade diskutil, and disk utility to that of older versions of Mac OS when First Aid actually fixed something, or gave us more controls to fix drives, permissions and etc?

I had the same problem on Mac OS Big Sur. Western Digital My Passport for Mac 5TB formatted exFAT. After 6 hours I came back and it had magically mounted. Eject, reconnect, mount OK in seconds.

Reboot your mac. I had the same issue. Reboot helped me.

Hi all,

I have the same issue, where all my external drives stopped mounting after I upgrade to Big Sur. The problem is that they do not even show up in the Disk Utility app. It really upsets me since it is nearly 30 TB worth of data! I have tried all things posted here, but none worked.

This solution worked for me, after searching and trying all possible solutions on multiple forums. Some context: Running MacOS Big Sur 11.6, Disk utility first aid said «seems to be ok», fsck_exfat returned «seems to be ok», disk was showing up on Disk utility but could not be mounted.

Run «sudo /sbin/mount_exfat /dev/disk2s2 /Volumes/External-HDD/» on the terminal. Enter account password when prompted. My disk was formatted as exfat (use mount_<your disk format type>) and diskutil list showed the disk identifier as disk2s2. You have to first mkdir /Volumes/External-HDD/. Hope this helps.

Hey guys. I use 4 Seagate drives (8 TB Sata Enterprise v5). They aren’t raids but are each a different drive that I use — Drive 1, Backup to Drive 1, Drive 2, Backup to Drive 2.

I inserted the backup drives in Orico’s 2 bay hdd docking station (model: 6629US3) a week back in my MacBook Pro 16′ 2020 that I had updated to Big Sur 2 weeks back. The hard drives Back up 1 & Back up 2 didn’t show connectivity. I assumed it’s the docking station’s error, I kept the drives back on a table to resolve issue later. 

The only change in anything is I upgraded to Big Sur from Catalina, rest is all as it was. 

2 days ago, I switched On my Main drive 1 & Main drive 2 (not raid), which are always connected but they showed no response. 

• The hard drives is showing as disk2s2 and disks2s3 on the left panel in Disk Utility.

• I tried mounting it, no response. 

• I tried mounting it through terminal command, didn’t work. (Could not mount ‘disk2s2’ .com.apple.Diskmanagement.dis enter error -119930868)

• I tried repairing it through First Aid, error. (First Aid process has failed. If possible, back up the data on this volume, etc)

• I then called on a technician in the city, a hardware expert, he claims that it may be the OS of the drive that’s corrupt and needs reinstallation for which he asked me to write to Seagate. (The only explanation I think)

• HDD Docking station is working fine on other drives. 

• I have 2 HDD Docking stations. Both are working fine. 

• I have tried to switch USB cables, electric cables on the docking stations.

• I have tried different power supplies.

• I have tried the drives on Big Sur, Catalina and Sierra. No luck.

• I have tried it on Intel MacBook Pro 16′ 2020 (BigSur), MacBook Pro 2015, MacBook Pro 2015 late, MacBook Air 2012 (Catalina), MacBook Pro 2011 (Sierra).

• The drives have been in the studio and nobody handles them but me.

• Drives haven’t been physically damaged or repaired or any of that.

• Mostly AC is On in the studio.

• When I connect the drives, the drives switch on and there’s regular movement inside it seems. They’re heating up the usual way, the inside disc seems to roll regularly.

The drives have my career long data in them and I think I did everything right in the textbook and made backups. I have to recover them — there’s no way I can quit on them or I can erase them. 

How can 4 drives stop working like that. It’s not like the data has any corporate espionage. I’m a Producer. 

Either it’s some weird issue with Seagate or Big Sur or inter dimensional beings are messing up with me. 

Help, help, help.

Same problem here. Please fix.

Check your anti-virus to see if you have a setting to not allow external media.
I went through all of the steps, typing in the Terminal line, running Disk Utility First Aid, trying to make the disk mount…
Nothing worked.
Finally made an appointment with Apple Care, the technician did an diagnostic, and they figured out it was the virus protection they sold me (ESET) that was blocking it. A simple checkbox. Argh! But fixed now.

Ok people, I spent 4 hours researching and trying all the solutions out there and finally found a fix that worked for me and wasn’t mentioned in any of the answers submitted.
First of all, my machine is a mac mini 2018, 1TB ssd, 64GB of ram, i7 processor. Latest Big Sur MacOS version.

You will need an additional Window PC at hand.

What I did:
1- Installed APFS for Windows app from Paragon ltd on my PC.
2- Connected my external SSD and mounted it: which makes it now able to be read from and written to from my PC
3- Just explored the content through my window explorer browser: Opened a couple of folders, 2 or 3 levels down.
4- Unmounted it(I think this is quite an important step not to be skipped as Windows usually allows us to do that without issue but I suspect that the unmounting process somehow participate restoring the drive registry to a format that Big Sur will now be able to detect)
5- Connect the drive to the mac: It should now be detected and work as usual.

Hopefully this will save time and a few tears to some people. Nothing else worked for me.

Best

This is what fixed exFAT partition is not mounting.

Fsck was doing some work forever on that partition. Using ps aux | grep fsck showed the drive being busy.

sudo pkill -f fsck worked and the drive basically auto mounted.

Found the answer on stack exchange but can’t link it due to saying «https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/293390/macos-cant-mount-exfat-external-drive»
is not a permitted domain on this forums.

Had a similar issue. 2-3 USB devices working properly on any computer stopped working on a student computer.
Struggled with searches then in Security I saw the student had the Firewall on…… Tried to turn off and apparently she made a setup to block USB connections !!!!!

Since then I’ve been able to connect USB devices again. Took me an hour to figure this out……. And student next to me staring at her computer all the time.

An alternate «solution» if you’re a numpty like me:

If external drives are mounting normally in Disk Utility but not appearing in Finder, they might just be hidden from view in Finder. I didn’t realise that the little arrow next to «Locations» in the sidebar of Finder windows had been minimised, so any external drives were invisible even when mounted.

This isn’t a solution, just another situation people might encounter.

Have and iMac, MacBook Pro and Mac mini running Big Sur 11.6.5. New seagate 8tb external drive formatted in disk utility works great. Until it’s moved to another computer. MacBook Pro and mini will not mount. Cannot see the drive in disk utility on any other computer. Same issue when plugging in to iMac running high sierra or mac studio running monterey. Only works on the first iMac. An hour call with seagate and Apple turned up nothing. They are baffled. Reformatted drive on original iMac to ex fat, then apfs, then back to journaled, doesn’t make a difference. I had another new 8tb seagate drive formatted on the high sierra iMac and it works on every computer. There is something wrong with Big Sur.

I just updated to macOS Ventura beta 1 and now my external drive won’t mount. I can see it in Disk Utility, but when I choose mount I get an error: «Could not mount “NIKON D3200”. (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 53249.)»
