Since the 10.11.2 update my late 2012 mini can not mount usb disks. My external HD is seen in disk utility but can not be mounted. I can erase it, but can not partition it or mount it. I can do both in recovery mode. USB sticks dont even show up in disk utility. My ipod shuffle is also not mounting.

I have no idea what else to try. I have tried SMC, and PRAM resets. Plugging in and unplugging everything. Using hubs and not. Everything was fine before this last update.

Yes
You've tried connecting your USB devices one at a time?
Seems to me that one problem device can bring down others as well.

Yes I have tried having the only device plugged in being a usb disk. Also, it works fine in recovery mode.

To update this it was my NOD32 blocking external disks. I figured it out by watching the console and I saw the log message.
