Currently the only way I found around this is to manually copy the files in Finder. Maybe there's another command-line tool to preserve this data. Either way though, it means the disk image needs to be manually created with the right size.

== Remnants of a Nintendo 3DS EmuNAND/RedNAND likely confuse hdiutil ==
== FAT32 partition created by EmuNAND9 somehow confuses hdiutil ==
Any time I've tried to create an image from an SD card that likely once had an EmuNAND or RedNAND on it has caused it to exit with <code>hdiutil: create failed - error -4</code>. Same if I created an image with dd and then tried to use hdiutil on it. Though I don't think this SD card had an EmuNAND on it, it could just be how EmuNAND9 once formatted it.
Any time I've tried to create an image from a FAT32 partition that was created by some version of EmuNAND9 caused hdiutil to exit with <code>hdiutil: create failed - error -4</code>. I thought it was due to an EmuNAND or RedNAND once existing, but I found out it happens even if I try to do so with just the partition.


This error is so weird and rare that I couldn't find anyone else with it through Google. I guess I shouldn't expect hdiutil to work with weird non-standard setups though.
