Mount disk problem - exFAT

  • go to terminal
  • diskutil list -- for list of disks
  • diskutil verifyVolume [disk_identifier]
  • diskutil repairVolume [disk_identifier]
  • diskutil mount [disk_identifier]
  • eg: diskutil

THIS DID NOT SOLVE THINGS

Usually in scenarios where the disk won't mount and you get that error message the computer is trying to run a fsck in the background, check activity monitor for a fsck_hfs or similarly named process and kill it, the disk will mount for you if you're lucky.

there was fsck_exfat in activity monitor. killed it. mounted.

  • use chkdsk in windows on the partition
  • chkdsk {drive}: /f
  • sudo fsck_exfat -d disk2s2
  • d for debug - all the files will flash past
