I am trying to mount an image of a macbook pro obtain with dd
. I have use this strategy to adapted the syntax of my mount command.
I have use the following process
- create the image:
sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=ddDisk bs=300M status=progress
- obtain the property of the image with
fdisk -l
andtestdisk
(see below) - create an empty directory:
mkdir test
- try to mount the main partition (
ddDisk2
) with the following command:sudo mount -v -t hfsplus -o sizelimit=498887294976 ddDisk2 test
I obtain the following error message: mount: test: failed to setup loop device for ddDisk2.
I am not sure I well understand this message.
Results of fdisk -l

ls /dev/loop*
) – Ipor Sircer – 2018-11-27T09:12:26.033And make sure
loop
