external hard disk mount dialog dismissed immediately on connection
On my M1 MB Pro, after installing Ventura, USB external hard drives will not mount except immediately following a reboot.
When I connect any USB external HD to the Mac after it has been running for a while, i see a very quick flash of the dialog that asks if I should trust the device, but it seems to be automatically dismissed before it is completely drawn on the display. If I reboot the Mac and then insert or connect the drive within a couple of minutes or hours (before the laptop is closed or put to sleep), the dialog will appear and stay long enough for me to click "OK" and the drive will mount normally.
These are all drives that have been used with this MacBook before upgrading to Ventura. And the computer doesn't seem to remember the permissions for the drives after a few days. This is particularly frustrating for Time Machine backups.
When the drive(s) are connected and won't mount because the dialog disappears too quickly, I can see in the system report that the drive controller (seagate, easystore, etc) is present on the USB bus, but Disk Utility cannot see the volumes. This is true through both the GUI and the command line disk utility. The only way I have yet discovered to mount an external drive is to reboot the Mac. It works, but is just really, really frustrating to have to reboot every time, especially since I typically have multiple user accounts running at once (personal, work, and test/development profiles) and have to close down apps and log out of each profile.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior (I can't find any other reports in community, so I'm not optimistic)? If so, is there a fix or better workaround that I'm missing?
Many thanks!
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
