Hey, y’all. I’ve been having an issue where none of my external drives mount when I plug them in. The Mount button in Disk Utility doesn’t do the trick, either. Importantly (I think), the drives do use FileVault. A couple things I’ve figured out:
  • It works fine for a while after I reboot the machine
  • Even after it stops working automatically, and stops working in Disk Utility, I can still do it manually by doing
    $ diskutil cs unlockVolume [UUID of volume]

It’s very annoying to have to go into a terminal and do this every time. Since it works after rebooting, there’s probably a process that needs to be restarted, but I have no idea what.

2015 13” MBP, 10.12.6 Sierra (yeah, yeah, I know. reasons. hoping to update the OS soon.)

Thanks!
