How to create .iso files using Terminal on MacOS
Raw
creating-iso-files-on-terminal
First: Discovery where your Volume disk running:
-- sudo df -k /Volumes/*
Second: umount your Volume disk without remove the disk:
-- sudo umount /dev/disk3 ('dev/disk3' may be different, you must replace it according previous command)
Third: Create an ISO file mirroring the disc on specified path:
--- dd if=/dev/disk3/ of=PATH_TO_ISO_FILE.iso bs=2048 (remember about the 'dev/disk3' argument)
Wait some several minutes. You can open the Finder on your destiny ISO file to monitoring the growing of file, but sometimes the file size take some minutes to show the real size. Keep calm, take a coffee and relax. :)
