WD My Passport won't mount following the above update and when trying to mount with Disk Utility I get this error (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49221.) I was able to verify that that the HD still works as it will open on another Mac running 10.15.7. Any suggestions or fixes out there?
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
Paragon says otherwise, which isn't surprising. Their reply to my email:
fter
the latest macOS 10.15.7 Catalina Security Update 2022-003 (19H1824),
issues have been reported with mounting NTFS volumes using the NTFS for
Mac driver. The Development team were able to reproduce and confirm the
issue. We expect it to be fixed in the next macOS updates.
For now, the following workaround can be tried:
1) Make sure you're using Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software build 15.9.314
It can be downloaded from the ParagonBox user portal if you have a license registered there or directly from the site:
https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/
Be sure to uninstall any previous versions as described below:
https://kb.paragon-software.com/article/4500
2) Connect the drive containing the NTFS partition, and make sure the partition is not mounted.
3) Open the Terminal utility (Application -> Utilities -> Terminal) and perform the following command to create a mountpoint:
sudo mkdir /Volumes/ntfs
4) Run the following command:
diskutil list
and note the NTFS partition's Identifier (disk0s3, for instance)
5) Run the following command to mount it:
sudo /Library/Filesystems/ufsd_NTFS.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_ufsd_NTFS /dev/diskXsY /Volumes/ntfs
where diskXsY - the NTFS partition from the previous step
(for instance)
sudo /Library/Filesystems/ufsd_NTFS.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_ufsd_NTFS /dev/disk0s3 /Volumes/ntfs
Please attach screenshots and new verbose logs if the issue is still present:
I thought so too but the drive works fine on the other Mac that doesn’t have any Paragon software installed
I ask for an apology. I hurried due to my excitement.
Actually, what happened is that the Finder was able to read the files on my external drives, but cannot write to them.
Did not work for me.
i spoke too soon. It lets me see the drive read-only. :(
Thanks for advice but where do I turn off my security updates please?
I try to install the latest paragon software via WD software, but nothing fixed.
Who can return my lost an hour updating software and another hour fixing mounting problem.
Thank you! Yes I have just updated and it is working just fine.
NTFS external hard drive will not mount Catalina 10.15.7 after security update on March 17, 2022
