For everyone who needs to mount an apfs volume

 

 

     Open terminal or ssh into server and work through these steps:

mkdir -p /tmp/apfs && cd /tmp/apfs

wget https://github.com/ich777/apfs-fuse/releases/download/v20200708/fuse3-3.10.1-x86_64-1.txz

wget https://github.com/ich777/apfs-fuse/releases/download/v20200708/apfsfuse-v20200708-x86_64-1.txz

installpkg fuse3-3.10.1-x86_64-1.txz

installpkg apfsfuse-v20200708-x86_64-1.txz

rm -rf /tmp/apfs

 

     Now, all dependencies are available. The following steps show an example with an qcow2 image. This requires an additional step:

qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nbd0 /path/to/your/image.qcow2

 

     You can now mount your apfs volume with:

losetup -r /dev/loop8 /dev/nbd0p2

mkdir /mnt/disks/apfsvolume

apfs-fuse /dev/loop8 /mnt/disks/apfsvolume

 

Thanks to @ich777 for the files!

Is nbd02 the part two of my drive? Or could you dummy it down for me? I’m stuck at:

losetup -r /dev/loop8 /dev/nbd0p2

Yeah, nbd0p2 should be the partition which contains the data while nbd0p1 should be the EFI partition.

Hey There,

 

Was running through this process, but ran into an issue where it states "Unable to get Volume".  

Any thoughts on why this is?

Running Unraid 6.10.3

I get the same thing?  "Unable to get Volume"   Any idea? 

Use the UD plugin to mount an apfs disk.  In the disk settings you can specify the volume to mount.  Doing it manually is too much work.
