Hi Stephen, > Yes, I have tried googling, but nothing came up for the 5 digit > negative error code!! -69842
Yeah, Google takes a leading minus to ignore matches with the following word. Search for «"69842"», including the double quotes that insist that word be in the results, and then play around with the other search terms, e.g. `fsck', etc. Adding «"couldn't mount disk"» if you're getting that error might also help. I found a few, including https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/103927/filevault-2-encrypted-drive-not-accepting-unlock-password-in-recovery-mode/141967#141967 > Unfortunately it’s apple’s APFS, seems less known about at present. Ah, OK. Support is growing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APFS#macOS Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-06-05 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:[email protected] / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
