Need To Mount DD Image File in Linux. To make the file system accessible and readable at a certain point we need to mount disk image dd in Linux. After mounting the disk image of hard drive we can open any files stored in dd image. DD image is a secure backup file so it is used by forensics users to investigate the evidence. Stack Exchange network consists of 175 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers. This often happens after cloning APFS drives using Disk Utility. The size of the file usually relates to the cloned partition size. You can use the following steps to mount the ContainerToInvert file as an APFS container and access all the partitions.

After cloning APFS drives using Disk Utility it usually ends with a volume containing ContainerToInvert file with the size of a cloned partition.
Don't be afraid, using the following steps you can mount this file as APFS container and get all partitions.
1. Requirements
We need FUSE and xmount installed
2. Terminal
Open Terminal app and type the following:
$ sudo mkdir /Volumes/apfs_image/
$ sudo mkdir /Volumes/apfs_mounted/
$ sudo xmount --in raw <path to ContainerToInvert file> --out dmg /Volumes/apfs_image/
$ hdiutil attach -nomount /Volumes/apfs_image/ContainerToInvert.dmg
$ diskutil ap list
## this is optional step, I don't need it
$ diskutil ap unlockVolume <Disk GUID> -nomount
$ sudo mount_apfs -o rdonly,noexec,noowners /dev/disk# /Volumes/apfs_mounted/
After that, you will have the original partition mounted to your system.

Fantastic work, thank you so much for this!
I've kept a 40 GB ContainerToInvert file on my disk for months now because I didn't know quite what it represented, and opening it with a hex editor revealed strings that matched the contents of several files on my drive. My worst-case fear of deleting ContainerToInvert was that it might somehow be some important part of APFS, and deleting it would either delete the files I saw in the hex editor or corrupt my drive (likely both).
But now I can browse it as a DMG, copying off whatever I need from it, and then safely delete it. Thanks so much again!!

Gauardians gala eve online dmg type. Should work without need for xmount and is simpler

Apple's Disk Copy program, located in /Application -> Utilities, lets you create a disk image from a folder by drag and drop. You can accomplish the same thing from the command line, but it requires several steps. Here is the procedure to follow; in this example I make a disk image from my Documents directory. First, you need to find out how much disk space the directory holds: The du -s command returns the number of sectors for the directory specified as an argument. This tells you how big the disk image must be. In the above example, there are 65,576 sectors. Add about 5% to this for meta-data: this gives 69,000 rounded up. Now, create the disk image file: This creates a disk image called Documents in the current working directory. The disk image is formatted in HFS+ and has 69,000 sectors. Next, mount the disk image file: Copy the contents of the directory to the disk image. Use ditto and the -rsrcFork option to maintain any resource forks that may exist: Now that you're finished, you can unmount the disk image: It took five commands to create a disk image from a directory. That's a bit more than dragging a folder onto Disk Copy, but it's still pretty quick. And with a little work, you can create a shell script to do this automatically.
