[Solved] Can't mount APFS EFI with diskutil

[llamafilm]

After reformatting my drive with APFS, I'm unable to mount the EFI partition with diskutil. It works with mount instead. Anyone know why? I've seen this happen on multiple computers with High Sierra, including a real mac.

$ diskutil mount disk0s1
Volume on disk0s1 failed to mount
If the volume is damaged, try the "readOnly" option

$ sudo mkdir /Volumes/EFI
sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/EFI/

Update: it just requires sudo. This is on High Sierra 10.13.6. On Sierra it did not require sudo. I used to have a BetterTouchTool shortcut to run this, but now it's broken.

sudo diskutil mount disk0s1
