I’m trying to get this single .bin file, MAFTZ0110.bin which the clowns at Nikon decided needed to be wrapped in a .dmg disk image, instead of, you know, zipped like every other file on the planet.
USB image writer -> wrote to drive, but inserting the thumb drive doesn’t auto-mount and I can’t mount it manually. bad superblock, etc. Doesn’t seem to have partitions either, just /dev/sdj.
Here is an example I’ve done with a raspbian image…
Using fdisk, check the file for its partitions and locations:
fdisk -l 2020-12-02-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img
Disk 2020-12-02-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img: 1.75 GiB, 1858076672 bytes, 3629056 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x067e19d7
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
2020-12-02-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img1 8192 532479 524288 256M c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
2020-12-02-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img2 532480 3629055 3096576 1.5G 83 Linux
My raspbian image file shows 2 partitions. Lets say the Linux partition (number 2) is the one we want to mount. First calculate the offset. This is done by multiplying the sector size by the start sector for the partition we want to mount. In this case we will be multiplying 512 * 532480 = 272629760. Now we can mount the partition on top of a directory of our choice.
mkdir mnt
mount -o loop,offset=272629760 2020-12-02-raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img mnt
ls mnt
bin boot dev etc home lib lost+found media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr var
For your image you might need to include the mount option ‘-t’ and specify the partition type your mounting.
Thank you! I think this is the solution, but I’m having a bit of trouble with the compiling of APFS Fuse. I’m trying it on a fresh install of Debian 11 with the zip downloaded from GitHub.
The issue seems to be with lzfse, possibly a missing dependency. The output of ccmake (per the included README.md) is:

When I look in apfs-fuse-master/3rdparty/lzfse, this folder is empty. Which is probably the problem. Do I need to download headers or something here first?
The lzfuse directory is empty because it points to another repository. https://github.com/lzfse/lzfse/tree/e634ca58b4821d9f3d560cdc6df5dec02ffc93fd
You’ll need to follow the build instructions for lzfuse first to be able to use it as a dependency. Because I’m on Arch, the pkgbuild took care of this step for me. Sorry it wasn’t obvious
You need to set the --recurse-submodules flag when cloning so it automatically pulls the lzfse repository in so: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/sgan81/apfs-fuse.git
