G’day Paul
Finally had time to address this. See script below.
Using ‘hdiutil detach’ definitely causes this error below. ‘detach’ is listed
as internet-enable.
diskutil: did not recognize verb "detach"; type "diskutil" for a list
So, the question is, how do I release the disk image, please anyone??
Regards
Santa
Fom man pages….
Converting:
hdiutil convert master.dmg -format UDTO -o master
converts master.dmg to a CD-R export image named master.cdr
hdiutil convert /dev/disk1 -format UDRW -o devimage
converts the disk /dev/disk1 to a read/write device image
file. authopen(1) will be used if read access to /dev/rdisk1
is not available. Note use of the block-special device.
hdiutil convert image.dmg -o image.sparsebundle
converts image.dmg to format UDSB by automatically detecting
the file extension .sparsebundle.
hdiutil convert files.sparsebundle -format UDZO \
-imagekey zlib-level=5 -o files
converts files.sparsebundle to files.dmg: a read-only, com-
pressed disk image using zlib level 5 instead of the default.
hdiutil convert stuff.dmg -format UDZO -encryption -o stuff-enc
create a copy of stuff.dmg named stuff-enc.dmg which is
encrypted with AES-128.
tell application "System Events" to set myFile to choose file of type {"dmg"}
with prompt "Please select a disk image to set the 'auto open' on :"
set myPath to quoted form of POSIX path of myFile
tell application "Finder" to set myName to (name of myFile) as text
set myNameTwo to quoted form of ((characters 1 thru ((offset of "." in myName)
- 1) of myName) as text)
set shellScript to "hdiutil attach -verify -autofsck -mount required " & myPath
set tempAction to do shell script shellScript
--> "hdiutil attach -noverify -noautofsck -mount required
'/Users/OzSanta/Documents/My XCode Projects/AA Sierra Public/Web Site stuff/Art
Archiver.dmg'"
tell application "System Events" to display dialog myName & return & return &
myNameTwo & return & return & tempAction giving up after 3
set endTextPath to replace_chars(tempAction, "/")
set the_ID to (do shell script "df -hlg | grep -m 1" & space & quoted form of
endTextPath & space & "| grep -o 'disk[0-9][a-z][0-9]*'")
do shell script "diskutil detach " & the_ID
tell application "System Events" to set myFolder to choose folder with prompt
"If desired, please select a new folder in which to save a compressed version
of the disk image, or Cancel :"
set folderPath to quoted form of POSIX path of ((myFolder as text) & myName)
set shellScriptThree to "hdiutil convert " & myPath & " -ov -format UDZO -o " &
folderPath
tell application "System Events" to display dialog shellScriptThree giving up
after 20
-->hdiutil convert '/Users/OzSanta/Documents/My XCode Projects/AA Sierra
Public/Web Site stuff/Art Archiver.dmg' -format UDZO -o
'/Users/OzSanta/Documents/My XCode Projects/AA Sierra Public/Web Site
stuff/Release dmg'\''s/Art Archiver.dmg'
do shell script shellScriptThree
-->hdiutil: convert failed - Resource temporarily unavailable WHAT DOES THIS
MEAN???
shellScript & return & return & shellScriptThree
on replace_chars(this_text, search_String)
set KeepDelimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_String
set the item_path to last text item of this_text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to KeepDelimiters
return item_path
end replace_chars
(*
convert image -format format -o outfile
convert image to type format and write the result to outfile.
As with create, the correct filename extension will be added
only if it isn't part of the provided name. Format is one of:
UDRW - UDIF read/write image
UDRO - UDIF read-only image
UDCO - UDIF ADC-compressed image
UDZO - UDIF zlib-compressed image
ULFO - UDIF lzfse-compressed image (OS X 10.11+ only)
UDBZ - UDIF bzip2-compressed image (Mac OS X 10.4+ only)
UDTO - DVD/CD-R master for export
UDSP - SPARSE (grows with content)
UDSB - SPARSEBUNDLE (grows with content; bundle-backed)
UFBI - UDIF entire image with MD5 checksum
UDRo - UDIF read-only (obsolete format)
UDCo - UDIF compressed (obsolete format)
RdWr - NDIF read/write image (deprecated)
Rdxx - NDIF read-only image (Disk Copy 6.3.3 format;
deprecated)
ROCo - NDIF compressed image (deprecated)
Rken - NDIF compressed (obsolete format)
DC42 - Disk Copy 4.2 image (obsolete format)
