the total mounted size of a compressed dmg

Do you mean "the total uncompressed size of a compressed dmg" ?

Please post the exact version of your O/S (blanking anything confidential like machine names with X's).

Code:

uname -a

Please post sample output from your hdiutil command for the largest file involved:

Code:

hdiutil imageinfo -plist filename

Quote:

The size of the partitions is based on the total size of the mounted disk image.

What are the mathematical calculations for this? Are any of these "partitions" larger than exactly 2 Gb ?

zgrep

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
