The command sudo ./driveinfo -zcp works, if you first download from the SourceForge driveinfo files page. You incorrectly used the files from the driveinfo source git repository . As explain on the web page The macOS driveinfo Command: Both the math and help files are merged into the driveinfo file to create the released single driveinfo file. When developing driveinfo, I decided to break the source into 3 files. Merging to create a release driveinfo file is jut one extra step in long chain of steps...

The identifiers disk4 and disk5 are not assigned drives with a GUID Partition Table (GPT). As you already posted, these are APFS containers and therefore do not have any partitions. I do agree the error message is wrong and version 1.0.4 has corrected this. The command driveinfo will now produce a header, but no partition table which is correct becase none exists.

Hi -- tried to install driveinfo 1.0.3 onto Catalina 10.15.2 (got an error during install by the way -- see comment in other discussion) and sometimes get the "incompatible" message depending on which volume I try to look at. The volume in question is an GPT volume that contains an HFS volume plus two other APFS containers that each contain other APFS volumes (one container for Mojave install and other container for Catalina install). Here are the three plist for the three items -- get the incompatible...

Tried to install version 1.0.3 onto Catalina 10.15.2 using command "sudo ./driveinfo -zcp" and it didn't copy the math or help files to the /usr/local/bin folder -- I manually copied but had to remove the quarantine attribute of these two files as well. Program runs now on some volumes, but sometimes get the "This script is incompatible with the current version of macOS" error. Perhaps the driveinfo bash script needs some changes for Catalina?

Threre a website https://driveinfo.sourceforge.io which contains instructions. If this is not sufficient, then please post what you feel should be added.

There are no instructions included. Please advise.

The driveinfo script parses plists returned by the diskutil command. When an error in parsing occurs, the message "This script is incompatible with the current version of macOS." is sent to stderr and the script terminates. Unfortunately, I can not correct the error because I would need the plist that could not be parsed. You would have to include the plist for the drive and each slice. For example, if this error occurred for disk0 and there were two slices (disk0s1 and disk0s2), then you would have...
