disenter error 49153

Since the last update, I am unable to mount my external hard drive in write mode. I can only mount in read only. If I try to mount in write/read mode, I get the above error : 49153


Anyone else having this problem since the latest update??


Thanks in advance

MacBook Pro (2021)

What format is the external drive? Maybe it is formatted ntfs for Windows and when you updated you did not update your third party app that allowed you to write to the drive. But it could also be a drive problem. You could be running Mac Superdrive while running macOS Catalina. Beyond those common reasons, error 49153.

Try restarting your Mac. Try the drive on another Mac. Try First Aid in Disk Utility.

Provide some system details and context.
