What causes this particular error and what can I do to mount this drive or retrieve the data from it?
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
I ran into this issue with a Western Digital 2TB drive... I had seen some irreperable disk errors and was ironically, attempting to back the drive up so I could reformat it... so, I was panicking because I've got some important data on the drive and was starting to research data recovery tools. After messing around and doing some research, I discovered the system was trying to run a filesystem check on it and was getting hung up.
I opened a terminal window and entered the following commands
$ ps -ef | grep fsck
$ sudo kill [pid from above]
BAM! Disk mounted just like that.
At this point, I opened Disk Utility and ran First Aid... which ironically unmounted the drive and then got hung up again... DUH! So had to repeat the process. At this point, with the drive mounted, I backed up the drive and reformatted it.
Hope this helps.
usb drive will not mount Dissenter error
Yes you can reformat the disk for future use but all of the data will be lost
That was the problem for me too domagoj240. That's why I purchased the Tuxera NTFS app.
Thank you, mac1317! I'm much happier now. :)

Man you just solved my life. and i give you credit for that
I NEVER see fsck when I search in Activity Monitor, anywhere.
Paragon is not up-to-date for OSX

What helps me was reinstall Mac OS.

DiskWarrior. It's really, really expensive, but it mounted my
unreadable hardrives and rebuilt the directories so disks mount. No
data loss! No guarantees, but it worked for me.

Don't worry about it, I'm not very familiar with codes either. Just copy paste it and press enter after every single command and you're good to go!
An external disk refuses to mount, com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error -119930868.
