Create OS 9 style .img disk images with OS X
Authored by: webbix on Jun 07, '04 04:06:00PM

Also, curious if you had any issues with 'cp' as that will not copy resource fork info either as I understand. Using 'cp' will typically get you a generic file that may not open as expetced.

Also have a question regarding the change to defaults; any additional information on exactly what I am doing when I run this command? Is this a 'hidden' funtion as in several of the 'debug' menus?

I run hdiutil from the CLI regularly as there is not option to make a sparseimage from any other utility.

In the script I wrote below, the cp copied files to an image that were "plain vanilla" when they got there--just a s you noted. There is a post at the following address that tlaks about using the "ditto -rsrcFork" command rather than "cp" to get the resources copied with the file.
