I have the following problem when running the flash tool with a customer user-data file:

HOST:~ username$ sudo flash --userdata /Users/username/Desktop/user-data --hostname pi-master https://github.com/hypriot/image-builder-rpi/releases/download/v1.12.3/hypriotos-rpi-v1.12.3.img.zip
Password:

HOST:~ username$ cp /Users/username/Desktop/user-data /Volumes/HypriotOS/

As you can see when running the flash tool I get a read-only error. I need to manually remount the SD-Card to be able to copy my custom user-data file.

My setup:
MacOS Catalina 10.15.7
flash 2.7.0

Let me know if more info is needed.
