    Ubuntu: APFS: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing ....

    Hello,

    I've just purchased and tried to use the APFS driver for Linux on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS which is running dual boot with MacOS on my iMac.
    I'm trying to access the Macintosh Disk from Linux.

    I've installed as root as per the instructions and the installer ran fine.

    root@imac:/home/chris/Downloads/paragon# ./install.sh

    Installation complete!


    Then
    mkdir /mnt/apfs_disk
    exit

    However:

    sudo mount -t uapfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/apfs_disk
    mount: /mnt/apfs_disk: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

    In syslog:
    May 31 15:01:21 imac kernel: [20239.850683] uapfs: failed to mount "sda2"

    Please advise !

    Many thanks
