Full Discussion: os x hdiutil expert needed

So that was not the problem. I think the issue I that hdiutil is not reporting the exact number I am looking for.

Furthermore, I don't know enough to know if the uncompressed size of a dmg is exactly equivalent to the space on a partition required to be able to restore the image to that partition. Other than actually mounting the disk image and finding the size with diskutil or uncompressing each image, I don't know of its possible to get this info.
