Memo to self: Ich will ein Time Machine Backup unter Linux mounten, um das “Latest” Verzeichnis mit Restic an Backblaze senden zu können.
Schritt 1: Sparsebundle mounten

Ein Time Machine Backup enthält doofe Hardlinks auf Verzeichnisse. Das kann Linux so nicht, und man muß das noch einmal mit tmfs fusemounten. Seufz.
# apt-get install tmfs
# mkdir -p /tmfs/tm_kk
# tmfs /hfs/tm_kk /tmfs/tm_kk
# ls -l /tmfs/tm_kk/KK/Latest/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30 Oct 21 14:26 ‘Macintosh HD’Das durchzulesen ist nicht mal langsam.
Schritt 4: Abbauen
# umount /tmfs/tm_kk
# umount /hfs/tm_kk/
# kpartx -d -v /bundles/tm_kk/sparsebundle.dmg
del devmap : loop8p1
del devmap : loop8p2
loop deleted : /dev/loop8
# umount /bundles/tm_kkSchritt 5: Den Mist scripten

A few important comments from the WayBack2 link:
Jeroen Wiert Pluimers:
So your time machine data is on a Linux disk that you export from Linux to MacOS? (as otherwise, I don’t understand what /export/tm_kk/KK.sparsebundle is for)
Kristian Köhntopp:
Yes, I am running netatalk, SMB and NFS on an Ubuntu 18.04.
Jeroen Wiert Pluimers:
+Kristian Köhntopp Thanks. What do you envision as steps to restore a complete time machine?
Kristian Köhntopp:
We will see. I do not see that as normally necessary. Mostly I do not want to lose the work on my laptop, and am just to lazy to restrict the backup to that. In general, it should be possible to create this as a writeable setup so that I get the data back. I will probably never recreate a full runnable mac setup from this emergency offsite backup.
