I have an older external hard drive that I have been trying to access. It mounts fine but there's nothing visible, no folder structure, no files. Tried running FIrst Aid and getting an error.
Just for fun, I tried mounting this to a very old 2008 macbook and voila, mounts perfectly and I can see all the folders and files.
What's causing this drive to not mount on a newer 2017 macbook pro?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
Open Activity Monitor in Utilities, View>All Processes, sort on Name, if fsck is running force quit it or wait for it to finish.
