I tried to mount an Apple .dmg file like so:
mount -t hfs -o loop ximg.dmg /mnt/dmg
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg
Well, the blogs say this should work.
I even tried -t hfsplus with the same result.
Am I missing a relevant package?
I have hfsplus-tools-332.14-11.fc13.i686
installed, and F14 has no higher rev update for it,
at least according to yum.
Wikipedia has some good info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Disk_Image
It suggests the command line:
mount -o loop,ro -t hfsplus imagefile.dmg /mnt/mountpoint
Not sure if the ro will make a difference ... you might have to
install some other hfs utilities to make that work. I know that there
seem to be two mutually incompatible took sets for hfs in the
repositories.
There are also some other conversion utilities mentioned there.
While dmg files are disk images, it almost seems that File Roller
should be the right tool.
