Createinstallmedia fails with updated Sierra installer - "not a valid volume mount point"
The newly released Sierra installer (now with updated certificate for installations post-October 23rd) doesn't play nicely with the createinstallmedia command. Instead, the Terminal returns:
/Volumes/osx is not a valid volume mount point.
Yes; I've named my flash drive "osx". Even tried other names just in case Apple now won't let me use that volume name. No good. Tried this on both a Mojave Mac and a Sierra Mac. createinstallmedia is fubar'd in the Sierra installer.
I tried createinstallmedia with the newly updated High Sierra and Mojave installers. No problems there.
If anyone has found a work-around, please advise. For now, I'm just changing the date (back to 2018) on the Mac needing a Sierra install, using the older (expired) installer and keeping the Mac off the Internet until the installation is complete.
