I'm having a lot of trouble trying to mount the drive. So I decided to pull the drive out and plug it into my Ubuntu 12.04 desktop with a SATA to USB cable to recover some data before reinstalling the OS.

Then try to repair the volume with diskutil repairVolume diskXsY (normal volume) or diskutil repairVolume diskX (CoreStorage volume).My Macbook (Snow Leopard OS) was giving me the rainbow wheel of death so I tried booting into safe mode and repairing the disk, with no luck.

Now check the volume with diskutil verifyVolume diskXsY (normal volume) or diskutil verifyVolume diskX (CoreStorage volume).

Repeat diskutil list to get the disk identifier. If it wasn't mounted enter diskutil cs list to get the Logical Volume UUID and try to mount it with diskutil cs unlockVolume UUID (replace UUID here with the UUID found previously). It's the one with the (internal, virtual) supplement.

With CoreStorage enabled that's usually disk2 or in the upper tenth (e.g. with CoreStorage disabled that's usually disk0s2.

I was not sure whether I should use disk1 or disk2, so I tried running diskutil verifyVolume diskX on both of them. My wifes macbook pro started shutting down by itself randomly, so i performed Disk Utility Verify Disk and found these errors: Invalid volume file count(It should be 800651 instead of 800653)Invalid volume directory count(It should be 191005 instead of 191003)The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired. In internet recovery mode, I ran the command diskutil list, which returned this list: Edit:ДЄs requested by I ran the command sudo gpt -r show disk0 in terminal. If possible, I'd rather not reformat the drive, except if it's necessary. Now, I'm not sure how serious I should take the message 'the volume xxx is corrupt and needs to be repaired', since the first aid on the physical disk says, everything is fine.ДЄny idea what's causing this and how I can resolve it? Then, I tried manually creating a partition to boot into using a bootable USB. Since Disk Utility in recovery mode only lets me run first aid on the physical disk, the result is as expected: everything's ok. Result:ДЄs suggested, I decided to run first aid from recovery.

Next, I ran first aid on the logical volume. The error message doesn't say much it just asks me to repair my drive via First Aid in Disk Utility. Unfortunately, BootCamp could not partition my drive. If Disk Utility isnвЂ™t open, click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, type Disk Utility in the Search field, then click the Disk Utility icon.
