We have had a variety of odd errors from HDIUTIL because Norton was doing something... On 10/9/08 9:22 PM, "David" <enki1711@gmail.com> wrote:
FYI, I reran the command from history, no changes that I'm aware of anywhere, and it worked.
I have been experiencing these frequent errors for no discernible reason. I've been trying to use tools DropDMG and DMG Canvas. Both of those often also give me errors, especially DropDMG which always reports an error, hdiutil 49168.
The man page for hdiutil says that when using srcfolder the file system will match that of the source. Therefore sounds like the fs option is not needed unless you're trying to override the filesystem.
The -ov option just overwrites. If you don't overwrite and the file is present, it gives a simple error stating that the file exists.

No idea what your error is, but you didn't specify any disk format. Mac disk images are HFS+.
Try: Hdiutil create -ov -fs HFS+ -srcfolder sourceDir out.dmg
I usually use: Hdiutil create -ov -fs HFS+ -volname "out" -srcfolder "source Dir" out.dmg
The man page will describe all the options :)

I'm trying to create a dmg with an application in it. I put the application in a directory then used the following command:
hdiutil create out.dmg -srcfolder sourceDir
hdiutil: create failed - error 49168
I haven't found much in Google about this. I'm not of out disk space.
Any help appreciated. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
