Mac $ hdiutil create -type SPARSEBUNDLE -fs HFS+ -size 10m -layout SPUD ./test_SPUD

(Mounted the sparsebundle on the Mac, copied a text file, unmounted, and dragged-and-dropped to a Linux home directory exported via Samba)

Linux # /usr/local/bin/sparsebundle_to_dmg.sh test_MBRSPUD.sparsebundle/ test_MBRSPUD.dmg
Linux # mount -t hfsplus -o loop,ro test_MBRSPUD.dmg /mnt
Linux # # ls /mnt
untitled text 2

Have you tried opening the resulting .dmg on MacOSX? If MacOS is able to read the file, it has something to do with your linux distribution. If not, it has something to do with the script…

I remember playing around with the type of sparsebundle I used (partition map type). Maybe this is the problem you are seeing?
I see that I have been thoughtful enough to forget to note what partition type I used…

Hope this helps.

[71868.211485] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock
[72712.598367] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock

Any idea ?
