On the other hand, hdiutil create -srcfolder creates a disk imageĬontainer, puts a filesystem in it, and then copies the specified Self-consistent (as diskutil verifyVolume would). It does not check whether the filesystem stored within the image is Read-only disk image have not changed since it was created. (often file-oriented) content of the image.įor example, hdiutil verify verifies that the blocks stored in a To the blocks of the disk image container or to the When using disk images, always consider whether an operation applies If any are discovered that should be mounted, the associated volumes Then, the kernel and Disk Arbitration probe the new device for 'Mount' and 'unmount' are the parallel filesystems options.įor example, when you double-click a disk image in the macOS Finder,įirst, the image is 'attached' to the system just like an external Images are connected to and disconnected from a system. The terms 'attach' and 'detach' are used to distinguish the way disk Many common uses of disk imagesīlur the distinction between the disk image container and its content,īut this distinction is critical to understanding how disk images Like disks, theyĬan be partitioned and formatted. Mountvol, unmount, plugins, udifrez, udifderez, internet-enable,ĭisk images are data containers that emulate disks. The rest of the verbs are currently: help, info, burn, checksum,Ĭhpass, erasekeys, unflatten, flatten, imageinfo, isencrypted, Hdiutil uses the DiskImages framework to manipulate disk images.Ĭommon verbs include attach, detach, verify, create, convert, and Hdiutil - manipulate disk images (attach, verify, create, etc)
