I am a new user of Qubes; it’s been working great so far.
But yesterday I attached an external hard drive via USB to do a backup (like I normally do each week), and I accidentally let the computer (Purism Librem 14) power down. When I went to boot back up again and restart the backup, that’s when I realized that, while I can connect the device to a qube (and it shows as connected in qvm-block after attaching), when I try to read the drive in Nautilus, it just spins and my folders/files don’t appear.
I’m at a loss as to what to try at this point… any suggested instructions for next steps for me?
Additional information, if helpful. I connected the drive to an older Macbook Pro and got the following information from Terminal:
mbp:~ user$ diskutil verifyDisk /dev/disk2
Started partition map verification on disk2

Checking the partition list
Checking the partition map size

Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting
