Hi, Thanks for the reply. The problem is that I don't have any medium(disk) for such large images. I'm using Linux on an Intel PC and hfsutils since I can also specify a path to a directory. Upto 650MB I was using a normal CD. Manual mounting gives me the error 'not a block device' if I specify the path to the image.

I also have no clue as to how I could write my image to a hard-disk perhaps starting at physical block 0. Maybe after that a manual mount would be possible.(?) But I guess that would probably be too tedious.

Any other tips as to what I could possibly do ? Is there some application on the Mac which would allow me to mount the image-file as a volume ? ( maybe if I send it across from my PC to the Mac per FTP ) - I presume the Mac would see my file then as a regular file and not as an image of a volume right ?

What happens if you manually mount the disk? (eg mount -t hfs /dev/disk3 /Volumes/xyz)

hfs.util calls /sbin/mount, which in turn calls /sbin/mount_hfs

Hello, I'd like to know if anyone who has used hfsutils in the past knows upto what allocation block size it supports for reading. I have an allocation block size of 64kB and I'm unable to mount my hfs-volume. It is slightly larger than 2GB in size. Images of size 32MB, 64MB upto 512MB, 1GB and < 2GB seem to work fine.

I get the following error : Sorry, unable to mount volume. Read unallocated block (Input/Output error).

Does anybody know if hfsutils imposes a restriction on allocation block size or this error is due to some bug in my program ? What could possibly be causing this ?
