How to mount an AES-encrypted .DMG file containing a FAT12 filesystem?












4















My question says it all: on Ubuntu, is there any way to mount a .dmg file (as produced by OS X's Disk Utility) that contains an AES-encrypted, FAT12 filesystem?



I've seen sporadic advice about how to mount .dmg files containing hfsplus filesystems, so I'd have thought the fat12 (aka, "msdos") filesystem would be even easier. The closest I've come is:



mount -oloop,encryption=aes-256 -t msdos privatedmg.dmg ~/mounted


But this gives me the error ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument. I don't know much about linux filesystem mechanics, but am eager to learn!

  • mount does not support ~/mounted expansion i guess. try /home/YourName/mounted.

  • Thanks @LiYong, but using an absolute path gives the same error.

emm what's coming to my mind I can help you this way only:



If it's possible or if you're willing converting .dmg to .img hfsplus open a Terminal Ctrl + Alt +T and type:



sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install dmg2img


then install mountable manager, I use AcetoneISO:



sudo apt-get install acetoneiso


or Mountmanager:



sudo apt-get install mountmanager


firstly try to mount .dmg using one of these packages, if no access you can still use converting tool mentioned above.
