Finally got ASR to work
After a lot of trial and error, mostly error, I got 'asr' to work.
There were two bugs/limitations in Apple software that I had to deal with, that clouded much of the issue.
I originally tried to use Carbon Copy Cloner 2 to create the image from a prepared partition on the computer. However, CCC creates a sparseimage format image which led subsequently to all of my headaches in later stages. Once I figured out that creating the image beforehand was essential, everything started to work. You can still use CCC to do all of the useful stuff. The final steps in the sequence are to unflatten the read-only image, do an image scan, and flatten the image again. After that, you can use asr to prepare all of your disks. Thus: hdiutil unflatten image.z.dmg sudo asr -imagescan image.z.dmg hdiutil flatten image.z.dmg
Finally got ASR to work
I'm trying to maintain my sanity here. I've gone through all of the messages I can find on this but I'm still having issues with ASR. The really frustrating thing is that I'm not getting error messages, just the help screen from ASR. I'm sure that I'm using the correct syntax, I've tried it with flattened and unflattened, and compressed image files but it's the same resuly. I'd really like to benefit from the wisdom of the group - any insight as to what might be missing? |
