if i remember well you need to turn off journaling? i am not sure anymore.
there was an email about this issue a couple of months ago on the list.
There is goes again the part you are interested on:
If you want to access the ubuntu from osx you can install an extension
called ext2 or something similar, but i dont recommend it, sometimes if
OSX crashes the ubuntu partition is not unumounted properly, there are
some issues about this that are a bnit anoying. I have this extension
installed, just in case i need some day to access the ubuntu partition,
but i selected in the extension preferences not aumomount the Ubuntu
partition (by the way called "Untitled" or "?" on my osx).
To access and OSX partition from Ubuntu there are a couple of things to
be done. First enable hfsplus support on Ubuntu by adding at
/etc/modules the following two lines:
hfs
hfsplus
then in /etc/fstab to add the line about the new partition add this.
/dev/hda5 /mnt/data hfsplus users,noauto 0
0
and finally i created a new folder called data in /mnt
for non experienced users (like me) that might read this email in the
future I must say here that to do this last steps you need to be root
user otherwise it wont you edit the /etc/fstab file and nether create
the data folder at /mnt
THe easiest way to do this was to type in the terminal
sudo gedit
to get the text editor as root, then it will allow you to open the
configuration files and edit them
and to create the mac folder do
sudo nautilus
and then you get nautilus as root, go to /mnt and create an empty folder
called data.
