APFS Encrypted Volume corruption during reboot (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49218)

Hello everyone, here I open a post about a serious bug of the APFS Encrypted filesystem which apparently is affecting many users. Suddenly, my external drive (WD 5TB portable) stopped mounting correctly. It asks me for the password, I enter it correctly, it tells me that it is incorrect (while it is), I re-enter it and after a couple of seconds the screen disappears but the disk is not mounted on the desktop. I use Monterey 12.1 on a 16 ”i9 MBP. With disk utility I see the partition (occupied for 1.46 TB) but I cannot use it, since it gives me (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49218). Has anyone solved the problem? Is there any tool that allows me to mount the disk to copy the data? Is it possible that there is such a big bug and Apple does nothing? Thanks everyone for the answers.

Hello, tonight so far has made the image of the partition and matches the content (about 1.46 TB).

Only now I try to mount it and it gives me the error that I am attaching. Is there any way to force the mounting of the image?

  • How did you make it? It happens the same to me, ask for the password, say its wrong then again and not mounting. How did you created the disc image and how did you fixed it? PLEASE give me a hint since i have my back up of family photos on that disk. Thank you so much.

  • Hi I didnt fix it but with Drill Disk i could get to see the files in the preview mode, im trying to find a way to get that program in the full version to back up everything. Also, I found this article that has a few options: https://www.macgasm.net/news/com-apple-diskmanagement-disenter-error/ Let me know if you find the way to solve it please.
