Cannot mount on Mac
My passport was connected to Airport extreme and I got a “Disk needs repair” message. No noise on the hard drive.
Connected the external HD to my Mac but it won’t mount. I tried mounting with `diskutil mount /dev/pathToDisk` and `diskutil mount readOnly /dev/pathToDisk` but it won’t mount. The disk is formatted in the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format (HFS+).
I downloaded WD Drive Utilities software to check the HD and it passed WD checks.
I am not sure what to do. I cannot loose the data inside the HD (should have had a backup, I know =/) and it doesn’t mount.
Is this a good question?

Does Disk Utility even see the drive?

are you getting any kind of error in you mac or any message

Disk Utility sees the Drive, but First Aid fails with error code 8, and mounting via the CLI does not work. No error messages, only when I plug the drive on the Airport extreme, which alerts me the drives need to be fixed.
