Hi All,
I just upgraded to a MBP and I'm trying to mount the Time Machine sparseimage stored on my fileserver (yeah, an unofficial TM config).
Anyway, when I look in the SMB/CIFS fileshare, the .sparseimage backup just shows-up as a directory with the plist, token, etc. and bands directory inside.
As such, I can't mount this on my new machine to hand-copy some files out. I tried Open in Disk Utility and it won't let me feed it a plain directory like that.
What do I need to do to either make this sparseimage dir show-up as a "mountable image" (as it does normally) or is there a way to force it to mount regardless of whether it's seen as a package or not?
I tried "hdiutil attach /Volumes/share/complicatedTMname.sparseimage" but that just seems to sit there and never actually mounts the image on the desktop or Volumes dir.
Thanks,
Mike
