For an image whose compressed size is 3.05 gb

Code:

/array>
	<key>Size Information</key>
	<dict>
		<key>CUDIFEncoding-bytes-in-use</key>
		<integer>3045130752</integer>
		<key>CUDIFEncoding-bytes-total</key>
		<integer>3045130752</integer>
		<key>CUDIFEncoding-bytes-wasted</key>
		<integer>0</integer>
		<key>Compressed Bytes</key>
		<integer>3045130752</integer>
		<key>Compressed Ratio</key>
		<real>1</real>
		<key>Sector Count</key>
		<integer>6136138</integer>
		<key>Total Bytes</key>
		<integer>3141702656</integer>
		<key>Total Empty Bytes</key>
		<integer>96571904</integer>
		<key>Total Non-Empty Bytes</key>
		<integer>3045130752</integer>

The important field here is "Total Bytes." There are no mathematical calculations, it is parsed directly from the hdiutil -plist. Pretty much every image I have is larger than 2 gb. These are service diagnostics, and each one is basically a fully-functioning bootable OS. I need to get multiple drives set up with 30+ of these images, which is why I wrote the script. Everything works perfectly except this one operation. Hopefully I (or we!) can find a solution!

I'm thinking that we aren't going to find a way to fix this issue directly. Unless anyone has any other suggestions, I think I might have to look at finding a way to round the size up to the nearest GB size and use that instead. I don't think I can do that in bash though, but I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to do it an awk. I know this isn't the scripting forum, but if one of you has any insight on how to do that I'd appreciate it.

Of course, I'm still open to any other solutions anyone comes up with.

vdltodmx(1)                                                   General Commands Manual                                                  vdltodmx(1)

NAME

       vdltodmx - dmx configuration file parser and printer

SYNOPSIS

       vdltodmx infile outfile

DESCRIPTION

       vdltodmx  reads  the  input file, which should be in VDL configuration file format.  After a successful parse, a file in Xdmx configuration
       file format is written to the output file.

       The VDL file format is used with xmovie, which is available from http://www.llnl.gov/icc/lc/img/xmovie/xmovie.html

EXAMPLE

       Given the following VDL-format file:
              0
              2
              #
              #
              2560 2048 Left two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
              2
              :2.1 1280 2048   0    0 0 0
              :2.2 1280 2048   1280 0 0 0
              4
              1280 1024 0      0
              1280 1024 0      1024
              1280 1024 1280   0
              1280 1024 1280   1024
              #
              2560 2048 Right two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
              2
              :2.2 1280 2048   0   0 0 0
              :2.3 1280 2048   1280 0 0 0
              4
              1280 1024 1280    0
              1280 1024 1280    1024
              1280 1024 2560 0
              1280 1024 2560 1024
       the following DMX-format file will be produced:
              #
              #
              virtual "Left two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
                  display :2.1 1280x2048;
                  display :2.2 1280x2048 @1280x0;
              }
              #
              virtual "Right two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
                  display :2.2 1280x2048;
                  display :2.3 1280x2048 @1280x0;
              }

BUGS

       If the VDL file is not in the expected format, the program will probably dump core.
