Could be easily done by terminal, but this is for lazy people ... mounts EFI and keep a dialogbox open to unmount EFI-Partition ...

 

Mount EFI.app.zip

 

like above and automatically opens config.plist with associated prog ...

 

Mount EFIc.app.zip

 

i use this script mostly to change SIP-Configuration before and after kext or system updates ...

I have two HDD (seagate and WD) and want to mount ESP on Seagate.

But I don't know if it is disk0 or disk1 now. It is random.

Can you do something for this case?

   6:         Microsoft Reserved                         133.2 MB   disk1s6

 

The "working" line in this applescript is:

 

 

         --set hier to do shell script "diskutil mount /dev/disk0s1"

set hier to do shell script "diskutil mount EFI"

 

so i think you know more about shellscripts than i ...  ^_^

But this script ask me what to choose while I want it to do automatically

if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
    DestVolume=/
else
    DestVolume="$1"
fi

The "working" line in this applescript is:

 

 

         --set hier to do shell script "diskutil mount /dev/disk0s1"

set hier to do shell script "diskutil mount EFI"

 

so i think you know more about shellscripts than i ...  ^_^ 

Sorry, I am C++ programmer knowing few about scripts.

Maybe its useful to use 2 "progs", one with
 
diskutil mount /dev/disk0s1
 
and another with
 
diskutil mount /dev/disk1s1
...
 
If you boot from Seagate you can use  Mount EFI_d_0, if not  Mount EFI_d_1

 

Mount EFI_d_0.app.zip

 

Mount EFI_d_1.app.zip

Hello @KWS, maybe we can learn together.. please take a look this script

Not bad, but i am in the moment very busy with my work. It's (a little) difficult for me - believe it or not - to really understand all lines of the autosleep-script i created some years ago ...  :) 

It needs time which i currently do not have ...

This is what I use in my GA-Z77X.sh script (excerpt). Should autodetect the EFI partition automatically, even if it's /dev/disk1s1, disk2s1, etc. There seems to a small bug though: CoreStorage volumes won't work with this (yet, working on fixing this).

 

Update: Here's a fixed version which should work with Core Storage logical volumes.

function _mountEFI()
{
	# Find the BSD device name for the current OS disk
	osVolume=$(df / | awk '/disk/ {print $1}')

	# Find the EFI partition of the disk
	efiVolume=$(diskutil list "$osVolume" | awk '/EFI/ {print $6}')

	# Make sure the EFI partition actually exists
	if [ -z $efiVolume ]; then
		## Check if the OS is installed on a Core Storage (CS) logical volume
		if [ ! -z $(diskutil info "$osVolume" | grep "Core Storage") ]; then ## CS volume detected
			## We can find the recovery volume in the diskutil output, and then use that to find the EFI partition
			recoveryVolume=$(diskutil info "$osVolume" | awk '/Recovery Disk:/ {print $3}')
			efiVolume=$(diskutil list "$recoveryVolume" | awk '/EFI/ {print $6}')
		else ## No CS volume present, so assume no EFI partition
			_printError "No EFI partition present on OS volume ($osVolume)!"
		fi
	fi

	# Check if the EFI partition is already mounted; if not, mount it
	if [ -z $(mount | awk '/'$efiVolume'/ {print $1}') ]; then
		diskutil mount "$efiVolume" > /dev/null
		gEFIMount=$(diskutil info "$efiVolume" | awk '/Mount Point/ {print $3}')
		echo "EFI system partition ($efiVolume) mounted at $gEFIMount."
	else
		gEFIMount=$(diskutil info "$efiVolume" | awk '/Mount Point/ {print $3}')
		echo "EFI system partition ($efiVolume) is already mounted at $gEFIMount."
	fi
}

Obviously you'll need to change _printError to something like echo "ERROR: No EFI partition present on OS volume ($osVolume)!" && exit 1, as _printError is a part of the script.

I created this script some time ago, but unfortunately, I couldn't finish it due to particular issues

and time...

 

It mounts some kinds of filesystems, and also, can create/change fstab...

 

If someone wants, feel free to improve it... > https://bitbucket.org/kyndder/imounter

Hi all, I have made a small utility that mounts a EFI partition on the selected hard drive or usb flash drive

This is a simple (Cocoa NSTask) wrapper for the terminal diskutil +some buttons  :)  :)  :)

whats wrong with existing small utility that is found in every version of os x and doesnt need to be installed ?

 

ie

diskutil mount /dev/disk0s1

With 1 EFI-Partition you can also use "diskutil mount EFI" ...

 

BTW, open Terminal, write "diskutil mount EFI" and hit enter is not much, but a little morte effort than one (double)click ....
