I’ve a 64 GB USB-C flash stick from Samsung that was new in October 2024, which I formatted with a device from my automobile’s producer that it insisted on. Making it a ExFAT quantity that comprises map updates and optionally media like MP3s. I had success studying it within the automobile, and success including media to it utilizing the Mac after I was on MacOS 14 Sonoma. Now I insert it on my up to date MacBook working MacOS 15 Sequoia, and it simply would not mount. It reveals up in Disk Utility and as disk4 with disk4s1.
Is not ExFAT supported and should not it work? I am going to present you what I attempted to date, and I’m wondering if there’s one thing else I ought to attempt.
Here is what the terminal says about mounting it learn solely:
dlamblin ~ % diskutil mount disk4s1
Quantity on disk4s1 didn't mount
In case you assume the quantity is supported however broken, attempt the "readOnly" choice
dlamblin ~ % diskutil mount readOnly disk4s1
Quantity on disk4s1 didn't mount
In case you assume the quantity is supported however broken, attempt the "readOnly" choice
Prepending sudo
would not change the output to both of those.
And maybe you wish to see what it says in Disk Utility:
Oh, and First Support complains about permissions, however the terminal model of diskutil would not behave any higher with sudo permissions.
E.G. with sudo
:
dlamblin ~ % sudo diskutil mountDisk readOnly disk4
Quantity(s) mounted efficiently
dlamblin ~ % df -h

Possibly it is MBR partitioned now? However once more, it labored earlier than. Was there some MBR assist I forgot I added to Sonoma that I ought to add or allow?
