I have an external drive that does not show up in Finder under Ventura.
This drive appeared fine yesterday under Monterey 12.6.1, and for years before. I use it with Carbon Copy Cloner to do full disk backups (not encrypted, not bootable). This drive has never been used on a different computer.
The drive hows up under /Volumes/{volume name}
and I can access the files using the terminal or via Finder.
- Finder is set to show all items on Desktop
- Finder is set to show "Locations |> External Disks" in side bar
- Disk utility shows it
- Disk utility can navigate to it via "Show in finder"
- Volume
/Volumes/mybackupdrive
is present - "Show hidden files" has no effect
I have tried the repair suggestions:
- In disk utility:
Run First Aid...
- From command line
diskutil verifyVolume {volume}
I have not run diskutil repairVolume /Volumes/{volume}
, though. I am not sure if that would modify it and break something.
diskutil list
shows the volume, no difference from my internal
