When trying to convert a DMG I'm getting the following returned:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/admin/Downloads/vfuse-master/pkgroot/usr/local/vfuse/vfuse", line 844, in
main()
File "/Users/admin/Downloads/vfuse-master/pkgroot/usr/local/vfuse/vfuse", line 746, in main
mount_point, disk_id, volume_kind = mount_dmg(source_dmg)
File "/Users/admin/Downloads/vfuse-master/pkgroot/usr/local/vfuse/vfuse", line 144, in mount_dmg
if i['content-hint'] == 'GUID_partition_scheme':
KeyError: 'content-hint'

I'm unsure what this means or how to resolve it.

if you run /usr/bin/hdiutil attach /path/to/the/dmg -plist what does it return?

rcohen-interlaced commented

hdiutil attach /Volumes/Rick\ USB-C/Steve\ Spare\ Laptop\ copy.dmg

expected CRC32 $31168D6D

/dev/disk5 /Volumes/Macintosh HD 1

chilcote commented

Try with the -plist option too. I want to see what the output of that is so I can compare against what's expected.

Also, is this a DMG that was created with Disk Utility from another Mac over thunderbolt? If so you may be running into this: https://github.com/chilcote/vfuse#caveats

It is a DMG of an existing Mac that I'm trying to convert to a VM for a user. I saw the caveat and hoped I'd get lucky to be honest. Created with Disk Utility to a USB-C external drive.

Yeah that might be it since vfuse is looking for a lot more diskutil info than that.

What you might could do is create a VM (from an autodmg output) and boot to recovery, then asr restore this backed up dmg to /Volumes/Macintosh HD

Ah well, was worth a try. Thanks for the assistance!
