Trying to create a High Sierra image with the following command, leads to macinbox getting stuck at Creating dynamic image (already 15 hours...):

$ sudo macinbox --box-format virtualbox --name high-sierra-gui -m 8192 --installer /Applications/Install\ macOS\ High\ Sierra.app --no-fullscreen

Any thoughts?

Hello, @tschoonj ! Thank you for this report. I have not seen this hang myself. The conversion usually only takes minutes, not hours.

A few questions... does this reproduce if you try again with the --verbose flag? And what versions of macinbox and VirtualBox are you using? Thanks!

Hi @bacongravy,

I have to correct my earlier post: it's not actually stuck, it's just that writing the vdi file is extremely slow (like < 1 MB/s).

I am using the latest version of macinbox and VirtualBox (6.0.8).

This eventually worked, but had to wait a couple of days before the image had been converted.

Thanks!
