I have a 2Tb harddisk connceted via USB toaster to my MacMini Mavericks. It was used to recuperate as much data as possible from my son's MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8) before reformatting and reinstalling OS 10.
DiskUtil list shows:
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE
IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 467.2 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 32.0 GB disk0s4
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE
IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk1
1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS SEAGATE_BU 2.0 TB disk1s2
/dev/disk2
#: TYPE NAME SIZE
IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk2
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk2s1
2: Apple_HFS Seagate2TSL 1000.0 GB disk2s2
3: Apple_HFS SeaGate2T 999.9 GB disk2s3
I've tried the following sudo mounts:
sudo mount -t hfs /dev/disk2s2/Volumes/Seagate2TSL/
sudo mount -uw -t hfs /dev/disk2s2/Volumes/Seagate2TSL/
sudo mount -uw -t hfs, local, nosuid, journaled, noowners /dev/disk2s2/Volumes/Seagate2TSL/
Each time, Terminal asks for my password and then gives me the "usage:" list. Obviously, there is a syntax error in this thing somewhere. I am not a real terminal expert, but I did read the "man mount" pages and I found some examples on the internet, especially here.
Is is possible to tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks for the link using diskutil list and mountDisk. I've tried that, it mounts the disk successfully, but when I try to cd into that Volume, it tells me permission is denied; or if I catalog it (ls -la), Terminal lists all the files it copied, but they all have the suffix "permission denied".
This is curious, as this external disk was formatted and OS 10.6 was installed using the same password I'm using on the MacMini. Unfortunately the original MacBook Pro is no longer working (it won't boot up from its internal disk). Is there any way I can get around this read protection?
