I am trying to mount an image of a macbook pro obtain with dd. I have use this strategy to adapted the syntax of my mount command.
I have use the following process
- create the image:
sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=ddDisk bs=300M status=progress
- obtain the property of the image with
fdisk -landtestdisk(see below) - create an empty directory:
mkdir test
- try to mount the main partition (
ddDisk2) with the following command:sudo mount -v -t hfsplus -o sizelimit=498887294976 ddDisk2 test
I obtain the following error message: mount: test: failed to setup loop device for ddDisk2. I am not sure I well understand this message.

Mount only the partition, not the whole image.
losetup -f /dev/loop4 ddDisk -o 209735680
mount -t hfsplus /dev/loop4 test
(209735680 is the first byte of the partition)

Then try lower free loop device, e.g. loop1. (ls /dev/loop*)
