| # My workaround for access to an ext4 sd card is to create an image of it: | |
| # get the disk with 'diskutil list' | |
| dd if=/dev/disk4 of=~/Desktop/dump.img | |
| # pwd = ~/Desktop | |
| brew install qemu | |
| qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 dump.img dest.qcow2 | |
| # then create a new disk for the machine in UTM and import the .qcow2 file. | |
| # I suppose etcher can write it back to a card, but i haven't tried that |
