Can't mount Android system.img in Mac
I downloaded the AOSP source code, and successfully make the build. Now with the new built system.img file, I want to mount it and take a look inside. However I am not be able to mount it. I am working on the MacOS, and the command I used was:
$ file system.img
system.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=b250775f-0c87-4e48-b8ed-c0443f127ee9 (extents) (large files) (huge files)
$ mount -o loop -t ext4 system.img /mnt
mount: exec /Library/Filesystems/ext4.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_ext4 for /mnt: No such file or directory
How can I solve this issue?

Apple doesn't ship a bundled ext4 filesystem. You'll need to install support for it. Check into osxfuse+ext4fuse (easily installed via MacPorts or HomeBrew).

I installed osxfuse and ext4fuse, and use the command: $ ext4fuse system.img sys . and then when I try $ cd sys . it just hangs.

Actually, the sys folder can be opened in Finder. It just the cd command is not working. The solution works for me. Thanks Perette for your help!

You can use extfstools to extract the Android system.img on macOS and Linux. You don't need root privileges or mount anything.
The original version is at https://github.com/petib/extfstools and it was written for macOS. It doesn't support symlinks.
I have a fork of extfstools at https://github.com/qmfrederik/extfstools which does support symlinks, but was tested on Linux only.
