Hi!
I have a decrypted DMG file and want to mount it on /mnt/ramdisk. I ran file on it and it shows as it should:
Code:
# file ramdisk.dmg
ramdisk.dmg: Macintosh HFS Extended version 4 data last mounted by: '10.0', created: Tue Nov 16 23:25:47 2010, last modified: Wed Nov 17 01:29:16 2010, last checked: Tue Nov 16 23:25:47 2010, block size: 4096, number of blocks: 4272, free blocks: 429
So I tried to use losetup:
Code:
# losetup /dev/loop0 ramdisk.dmg
losetup: /dev/loop0: device is busy
What's wrong with that? Tried to mount anyway:
Code:
# mount -t hfsplus -o loop ramdisk.dmg /mnt/ramdisk
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Tail shows:
Code:
# dmesg | tail -n 2
[ 9830.638694] hfs: invalid secondary volume header
[ 9830.638705] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock
The command losetup sets up the loop device for mounting so what I now did:
Code:
# losetup /dev/loop0 ramdisk.dmg
# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/ramdisk
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
# dmesg | tail -n 2
[ 196.954927 ] hfs: invalid secondary volume header
[ 196.954927 ] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock
Now we have a new error. Any fix or way around?
