Q: can't mount external drive
I have an external USB drive that's recently stopped mounting. I'm running El Capitan 10.11.3 (15D21). I've been using the drive for Time Machine.
I can't see the drive in DiskUtilities.
Output of diskutil is as below. I saw found a post from Kappy that looked promising but can't find it again now. Any ideas how to fix this?
Many thanks!
