Is there a procedure for creating the Recovery HD for each InstallESD that we use to create the image?

Best regards

If you use the latest revision from svn, it creates the image to an HFS+J volume, which causes the OS X installer to automatically create the recovery partition included in the output image.

When you asr restore this, it will create the Recovery HD.

In other words, you shouldn't have to do anything except use the latest revision of InstaDMG from svn.

Does this scenario work with DeployStudio as well?

Yes, for 10.7 as well as 10.8. Sorry this capability was missed earlier, and working on integrating a switch to disable it soon. Thanks, Allister

Hello

I have version 485, but when restoring the resulted image via DS, I get only the Macintosh HD, no Recovery HD.

Best regards

There is no r485, did you mean r458?

Mount your disk image and run diskutil list. Is there no Recovery HD listed within the dmg volume? (there should be)

If you're using a cache file generated from an earlier version you will not end up with an image containing a recovery partition.
