HDD works as SMB but not USB (seeking help)

[enigma2118]

Heyo.

I have a HDD I've had successfully connected directly to a TP-Link router and used via SMB for over a year. I wanted to do some organization so I hooked it up directly to my Mac Mini. I'm getting the diskenter error 49244 fail to mount error. This HDD is formatted MacOS Extended Journal. It was formatted on this Mac Mini (years ago). It's been a long time since I plugged it directly into anything other than the router. I can't figure out why it wont mount on the Mac, yet still works as a SMB drive when connected to the router.

Have tried Disk Utilities for mount and repair (and terminal version of that). No luck.

Does your drive have its own power supply or is it bus powered over the USB connection? What version of macOS?

Attach the drive to your Mac via USB and open Disk Utility. Make sure to select View > Show All Devices. Select the top level device in the tree representing your USB disk. In the table on the right, what is the "Partition Map"?
