So, my Time Machine drive would not mount after I unmounted it during a period of time when I was offline on purpose. After using Disk Repair multiple times, still did not mount. Used Onyx which found a disk error and told me to restart holding down Command-R. It restarted in a mode I have not seen before and gave me a window with the option to run Disk Utility again.

This time Disk Utility found a bitmap error and a file count error, which it was able to repair. Then I got a window asking me if I wanted to run OSX Fuse, whatever that is. Closed the window and the same application showed up in System Preferences panel when I went to go there to turn on Time Machine. Clicked on it and asked me if I wanted to remove it and I clicked yes. But it is still there.

(TM drive is now mounted)
