So, I have an External SSD of 2TB. I was unable to mount it after removing it accidentally from my laptop, without ejecting it. Then, I for some reason tried running the command:
sudo asr adjust --target /dev/disk4s2 --settype "Apple_HFS"
For my external hard disk. It is actually of ExFAT type, but after that it started showing Apple_HFS type, since I knew it was of type ExFAT I then ran:
sudo asr adjust --target /dev/disk4s2 --settype "ExFAT"
While, both commands ended in some failure. Now on running diskutil list I get this:

Here below, disk10s2 is now my drive. And it is showing completely stuck.
Using DMDE I was able find that my drive looks to be still there.
Can anyone help !!?
