    Mount hfs+ partition

    I have Kubuntu installed on a iMac and use ReFit as my bootmanager.
    I want to mount the OSX partition during startup and edited fstab accordingly.
    The reason i want to mount it, because it has all my music and movies, and i don't want to double up on everything by copying it to my home partition.
    But during bootup i get an error messege saying " An error has occured while mounting /mnt/mac" , (my mount point). "Press s to continue"
    I can mount it manually with sudo mount, but i like it to happen during startup.
    I have attached my fstab. The reason sda2 is commented out is to prevent the error message during startup.
    I have tried it using UUID= as well and get the same message.

    Thanks guys

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
    # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
    # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
    # / was on /dev/sda6 during installation

    Replace 'none' with 'rw,exec,auto,users 0 0' so your fstab entry reads:

    /dev/sda2 /mnt/mac rw,exec,auto,users 0 0
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
