need to bless after restoring 10.13.4 (apfs) #27

Closed mjsanders closed 6 years ago

I use Restor 1.4, and since restoring 10.13.4 (apfs) images created with AutoDMG I noticed two things: -restor takes much longer (not measured yet) -after reboot the client, by default it shows blinking question mark (missing bootable volume)

This can be solved in two ways: -booting using cmd-R to recovery, in Startup Disk set the 'Macintosh HD' to boot volume -on the mac that runs Restor run this command:'sudo bless --folder /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/System/Library/CoreServices' (Macintosh HD is the name of the restored volume)

To run this, you first need to mount the just restored volume (with commands like diskutil mount disk3s1) one can check the bootability using sudo bless --info /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD. The output can be for a bootable system:

          46 => Blessed System File is <Preboot>/BD0ABA49-C7E0-4909-9838-3BE39D5B7B48/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
          44 => Blessed System Folder is <Preboot>/BD0ABA49-C7E0-4909-9838-3BE39D5B7B48/System/Library/CoreServices
The blessed volume in this APFS container is "/Volumes/Macintosh HD"

and for a non-bootable volume:

           0 => No Blessed System File
           0 => No Blessed System Folder

Can you include the bless --folder step into Restor workflow?

Thanks for the report and sorry for the late response. Yes, I will be looking into this and the 10.13.4 ability to restore to the iMacPros.

Give v1.5 a spin. If you are running Restor from macOS 10.13.4 it should bless the restored system volume.

Yeah Great, the blessing works (host Mac 10.13.4, Restor 1.5, 10.13.4 apfs.dmg) Thanks Tom!
